Custom mod element

I'm making custom mod element with new java plugins. The only problem I ran into was how to get a mod list of items (of the type I created) in procedure blocks.

 

When you create custom entity it's available in procedure blocks as "CUSTOM: <name>". Can't really find a way to do this with custom mod element.

It uses a custom Blockly argument. Check how this block is made in its Json file.

From what i understand, it uses blockly named field_data_list_selector. This calls a method in mcreator that opens this selector in line 59.

 

```

javabridge.openEntrySelector(this.type, {

```

 

However in mcreator source code (i mean file net/mcreator/ui/blockly/BlocklyJavaScriptBridge.java), after looking at the class i assume it handles it, i guess it does not return custom mod elements, only built in ones (mcreator uses switch case for different mod elements), otherwise returns nothing or datalist only. :<

You can try setting the custom element recipe type to ITEM or BLOCK. This should add your mod element to the list of blocks/items

It doesn't help.

Im preety sure its about this method in javascript "field_data_list_selector.js" in line 58

javabridge.openEntrySelector(this.type, {

I understant this calls a method in MCreator in "net.mcreator.ui.blockly.BlocklyJavascriptBridge". It activates method in lne 123:

public void openEntrySelector(@Nonnull String type, JSObject callback) {
String var10000;
        switch (type) {
            case "entity":
                var10000 = this.openDataListEntrySelector((w) -> {
                    return ElementUtil.loadAllEntities(w).stream().filter((e) -> {
                        return e.isSupportedInWorkspace(w);
                    }).toList();
                }, L10N.t("dialog.selector.entity.message", new Object[0]), L10N.t("dialog.selector.entity.title", new Object[0]));
                break;
            case "spawnableEntity":
                var10000 = this.openDataListEntrySelector((w) -> {

                }
        }

        String retval = var10000;
        callback.call("callback", new Object[]{retval});
    }

 

I suspect that's why I can't do it. I don't see there any code that would return list of custom elements user made from my mod element (only datalist if exists).

Okay, it works now but i had to make 3 custom classes and 2 static methods: 

  • BlocklyJavascriptBridge, just added small if in Default case that checks if there exists modelement type with given type in string
  • BlocklyPanel, it was necessary for using this class i mentioned above
  • ProcedureGUI, just to add my custom BlocklyPanel as a bridge, but class replaces original gui
// part of method in line 128 in BlocklyJavascriptBridge

default -> {
                if (registryExists(type)) {
                    yield openDataListEntrySelector(
                            w -> loadAllCustomElements(w,type).stream().filter(e -> e.isSupportedInWorkspace(w)).toList(),
                            L10N.t("dialog.selector."+ type +".message"), L10N.t("dialog.selector."+ type +".title"));
                }

 

// code for returning if customelement exists

private static boolean registryExists(String type) {
        for (ModElementType<?> mod : ModElementTypeLoader.REGISTRY){
            if(mod.getRegistryName().equals(type)){
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
//two methods made like other in ElementUtil, but to return custom mod elements

public static List<DataListEntry> loadAllCustomElements(Workspace workspace, String type) {
        List<DataListEntry> retval = getCustomElementsOfType(workspace, type);
        retval.addAll(DataListLoader.loadDataList(type));
        Collections.sort(retval);
        return retval;
    }

    private static List<DataListEntry> getCustomElementsOfType(@Nonnull Workspace workspace, String type) {
        return workspace.getModElements().stream().filter(mu -> mu.getType().getRegistryName().equals(type)).map(DataListEntry.Custom::new)
                .collect(Collectors.toList());
    }
