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

@Ivan_TheWorst

I never tried creating plugins. Honestly, never got interested on them. My hobbie is gameDev and modding. It should be easy since all my code is public only here in MCreator website. Whoever goes for it only need to add it as a tick update for the chestplate (but it can be assigned to any armor item). But I am more of a worldgen modder, only made the elytra changes since there was nothing for it.

Might give it a shot, but not soon.

@JEDIGD

That looks a lot like how it was done for 1.16.x, but please elaborate more on the topic.

Also, please add the Minecraft version you are using and the name of the plugin so we can recreate the process and make a functional tutorial for other Minecrafters.

The possible correct implementation depends on how the variable cosmicTouchIsActive is stored and accessed within the Cosmic mod.

In Minecraft Forge, player-specific data is often handled through capabilities or directly accessing the player's Entity data. Assuming CosmicModVariables.PlayerVariables() method should provide access to these variables, and it's implemented as a static method, you'll want to make sure that you're accessing the variable correctly for the specific player (entity). Here's how you might correctly implement this functionality:

1. Ensure that CosmicModVariables is accessible: This class should be imported or defined in your mod so that you can access the player variables.
2. Check if the entity is a player: Since you're dealing with player-specific variables, you need to ensure that the entity is actually a player. This is important because other living entities like mobs can also trigger these checks.
3. Access the player-specific variable correctly: Assuming cosmicTouchIsActive is stored in a capability or similar structure attached to the player, you might need to cast entity to Player and then access the variable.

The following is a "possible" revised version of your method:

import net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player;



@Override


public boolean canElytraFly(ItemStack stack, LivingEntity entity) {


   if (entity instanceof Player) {


       Player player = (Player) entity;


       // Assuming CosmicModVariables.PlayerVariables() requires a player instance to access the correct variables


       CosmicModVariables.PlayerVariables playerVars = CosmicModVariables.PlayerVariables(player);


       return playerVars.cosmicTouchIsActive;


   }


   return false;


}

Just in case:

• Check Imports: Make sure that all the required classes are properly imported.
• Handling CosmicModVariables: You need to adjust how you access CosmicModVariables.PlayerVariables(). This method seems like it should either be a static method that requires a Player entity or a method in another class that manages player data. Adjust this according to the actual implementation in the Cosmic mod.
• Capability Check: If cosmicTouchIsActive is a capability, you'll have to fetch it from the player using the appropriate method.

This example assumes that you have a method to directly retrieve player-specific variables, which might not be the case. If CosmicModVariables handles things differently, you might need to adapt the example to fit the actual data structure and access methods used in the Cosmic mod.
