[TUTORIAL] Making a flying armor 2022.x - Forge 1.18.2 - Look at the comments for updates up to 2023.x 1.20.1

Started by __SK__ on Sat, 08/27/2022 - 03:22

I tried to make it as simple as possible, it does require to lock the code.

Create your default or custom 3d armor
Modify the desired settings
Save
Now lock the code
Copy the following and paste it right before the last "}" in the code

    

   @Override
   public boolean canElytraFly(ItemStack stack, net.minecraft.world.entity.LivingEntity entity) {
      return true;
   }

   @Override
   public boolean elytraFlightTick(ItemStack stack, net.minecraft.world.entity.LivingEntity entity, int flightTicks) {
      if (!entity.level.isClientSide) {
         int nextFlightTick = flightTicks + 1;
         if (nextFlightTick % 10 == 0) {
            if (nextFlightTick % 20 == 0) {
               stack.hurtAndBreak(1, entity, e -> e.broadcastBreakEvent(net.minecraft.world.entity.EquipmentSlot.CHEST));
            }
            entity.gameEvent(net.minecraft.world.level.gameevent.GameEvent.ELYTRA_FREE_FALL);
         }
      }
      return true;
   }

=============SPECIAL NOTE================

    If needed set stack.hurtAndBreak from 1 (default value - breakable) to 0 (unbreakable)

=============SPECIAL NOTE================

Congratulations, now your armor (chestplate) will act just like an elytra ... and still have armor properties.

If you still have doubts, watch the following ...

Landing

With some creativity you could add a tick to the chestplate ... adding an additional chestplate that will switch while in air for a winged model, making it cool and more enjoyable to watch.

I would gladly like to see screenshots of your creations.

Have fun

Hey, sorry to bother. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction about something related to this.

I'm pretty new to Mcreator, but I'm hoping to add a parasail like item which could be used more midway though the game as a 'worse elytra' to break your fall or float down a mountain and such.

Do you know if it's possible to put elytra like properties on a held item and how I'd do that?

yes here is the code: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uevsbw9282loers/code.txt/file

is there a way to do this in mcreator (2021.3)?

for 1.16.5.

@thatdudepeter

For 1.16.5 you do not need to code it, there was a plugin someone else created and I saved it for my backups ...

Here is the post link: ( https://mcreator.net/comment/212147 )

======================================================

Just in case, this is an updated link for the Fly Procedures plugin.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/b1m79pxiqga0a/elytra_flying_plugin_mcreator (just verified - 3/18/2024, and the link workd as expected)

=================Important info============================

*** THESE ARE MY BACKUP PLUGIN FILES - I DID NOT CREATE THE PLUGIN ***

{
"id": "fly_procedures",
"minversion": 202000539514,
"info": {
"name": "Fly Procedures",
"version": "1.2",
"author": "MrScautHD", <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<This is the author
"description": "This plugin add procedures to check is player flying"
}
}

Only tested on MCreator 2021.2, for a 1.16.5 workspace.

=================Important info============================

Have fun.

It is not working for me but I think I might be putting the code in the wrong place because I keep getting an error about it.

I'm using 2023.4 btw

Im also doing a 1.20.1 mod if that helps too

There is a slight change for 2023.3+.

Look at the if statement, it had a change from:

.level

to:

.level()

This is the updated code. Copy and paste them, but if you like try to understand them:

	//ENABLE ELYTRA FLYING

    @Override
    public boolean canElytraFly(ItemStack stack, LivingEntity entity) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean elytraFlightTick(ItemStack stack, LivingEntity entity, int flightTicks)
    {
        if (!entity.level().isClientSide && (flightTicks + 1) % 20 == 0) { //HERE IS THE .level THAT CHANGED TO .level() 
            //set stack.hurtAndBreak from 1 (default value - breakable) to 0 (unbreakable)
            stack.hurtAndBreak(0, entity, e -> e.broadcastBreakEvent(net.minecraft.world.entity.EquipmentSlot.CHEST));
        }
        return true;
    }

    protected boolean onGround;
    public void setOnGround(boolean p_20181_) {
        this.onGround = p_20181_;
    }

    public boolean isOnGround() {
        return this.onGround;
    }

Also, double check the imports (verify them at the top fo the code):

import net.minecraft.world.entity.LivingEntity;//THIS IMPORT MIGHT BE REQUIRED

When done, remember to save and lock your code for this item.

Best wishes, have fun!

I cannot tell you how happy I am that you helped me. Thank you so much. You are a genius. Also the import wasn't required for the code.

doesnt work :/ it tells me "error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype" for the 2 @override in the code

Simple fix, there is a little confusion on the code's placement. You are trying to apply it on the renderer

but it should be placed in the item itself

Remember to lock and save the code.
