Mod compatibility issue

[woeful token]

I have a mod that changes colors of player nicks. It works on vanilla, It doesnt work on Lunar client.

Originally i did this:

@Mixin(EntityRenderer.class)
public class EntityRendererMixin {

    @ModifyArgs(method = "render", at = @At(value = "INVOKE", target = "Lnet/minecraft/client/render/entity/EntityRenderer;renderLabelIfPresent(Lnet/minecraft/entity/Entity;Lnet/minecraft/text/Text;Lnet/minecraft/client/util/math/MatrixStack;Lnet/minecraft/client/render/VertexConsumerProvider;IF)V"))
    private void renderLabelIfPresent(Args args) {
        if (!ConfigManager.get().changeNickColor) return;
        Entity entity = args.get(0);
        if (!(entity instanceof AbstractClientPlayerEntity player)) {
            return;
        }
        var playerName = player.getName().getString();
        Formatting color = GlowUtils.getGlowColor(player);
        if (color == null) return;
        Text newText = Text.literal(playerName).formatted(color);

        args.set(1, newText);
    }
}

On vanilla it worked great. On lunar client it doesn't work. Simply nothing happens.

So i went with a diffrent approach.

@Mixin(PlayerEntityRenderer.class)
public abstract class PlayerEntityRendererMixin extends LivingEntityRenderer<AbstractClientPlayerEntity, PlayerEntityModel<AbstractClientPlayerEntity>> {
    public PlayerEntityRendererMixin(EntityRendererFactory.Context ctx, PlayerEntityModel<AbstractClientPlayerEntity> model, float shadowRadius) {
        super(ctx, model, shadowRadius);
    }

    @Inject(method = "renderLabelIfPresent", at = @At("HEAD"), cancellable = true)
    private void injectRenderLabel(AbstractClientPlayerEntity player, Text text,
                                   MatrixStack matrices, VertexConsumerProvider vertexConsumers,
                                   int yOffset, float tickDelta, CallbackInfo ci) {

        if (!ConfigManager.get().changeNickColor) return;

        var playerName = player.getName().getString();
        Formatting color = GlowUtils.getGlowColor(player);
        if (color == null) return;
        Text newText = Text.literal(playerName).formatted(color);

        matrices.push();
        
        super.renderLabelIfPresent(player, newText, matrices, vertexConsumers, yOffset, tickDelta);
        matrices.pop();

        ci.cancel();
    }
}

This again worked on vanilla, but on Lunar Client it made the nick entirely dissapear.

Tbf i didnt test it outside of IDE runClient task. So im not 100% its Lunar Client that is the culprit, But then again why would a built jar mod behave diffrently tothe one ran from the IDE.

So my question is, is there any realistic way i can achieve being compatible with lunar? I suspect lunar hooks and changes player's nicks themselves somewhere(they have builtin addons for that)

Production is different than development, mostly in that development runs in named mappings, and prod runs in intermediary.

If you want lunar compat, you need to figure out what they do and either work around it or mixin to their stuff if it's present.

The thing is everything else works on Lunar, i have 10 mixins and they all work, well except for this one. If the mappings were changed wouldnt it cause a crash? (Not it causes nothing/nicks to be gone entirely)

How can i figure out what the do with mixins to work around it?

the fix is simply not using lunar client
