- Remove the /computercraft-computer-folder client command, and replace
it with OPEN_FILE on NeoForge, or a /computercraft-open-folder
command on Fabric (which now accepts a path, rather than an id).
- Store command computer files in "computercraft/command_computer/<id>".
Fixes#1581.
Please don't talk to me about this. The first couple of hours of this
update were quite enjoyable, and then the rest was one of the most
miserable times I've had modding.
This has been a real slog, partly due to some large MC changes (item
models are a great change, but a pain to adapt to), and partly due to
mental health reasons — honestly, I've opened up my IDE so many times,
and then just closed it because I've hated the thought of even working
on this.
I will publish this to my maven, so mod authors can depend on it, but I
have no plans to publish a 1.21.4 version. 1.21.5 is right around the
corner (again, with some cool, but no-doubt painful changes), and I
need some time to focus on some breaking changes.
This commit actually includes the 1.21.3 update — the git history got so
messy here, so I just clobbered the whole thing. Sorry.
== Rendering ==
- Remove TBO monitor renderer: There was a big overhaul to how shaders
are defined and loaded in 1.21.2. It might have been possible to
update the monitor shader code to this version, it doesn't see much
use nowadays, so let's just delete it.
This is a real shame — the TBO renderer was one of my favourite
projects I've worked on. Unfortunately, it just doesn't seem worth
the ongoing maintenance burden. It lives on in the standalone
emulator :D.
- Similarly, the VBO rendering code got a bit of an overhaul. We no
longer use a custom VBO subclass, and instead just hack vanilla's to
support changing the number of vertices rendered.
This does mean we need to construct a MeshData, rather than a raw
ByteBuffer. This isn't too hard, but not sure how it'll play with
Iris. Given recent vanilla performance improvements, maybe we can
remove our Unsafe code and use a normal BufferBuilder now.
- Remove our custom emissive model code, now that vanilla supports
it. We should add emissive textures to some other models at some
point.
- Remove mod-loader specific model code, and replace it with vanilla's
ItemModel. This does constrain the design of turtle upgrade modellers
quite a bit — we now only accept an untransformed BakedModel or a
transformed ItemStack model. We may relax this in the future,
unclear.
This change does mean that updsidedown turtles are broken. RIP :(.
- Entity rendering now separates reading state from the entity from
actual rendering. This means we need to pass some extra state around
for item frames. Easy on Forge, but requires a mixin on Fabric.
== Recipes ==
There were several major changes to ingredients this update. The code
here hasn't been very well tested right now — might be nice to add some
game tests for this.
- Ingredients can no longer be constructed directly from a tag key (it
needs to be fetched from the current registries), so the recipe
generation code needs a bit of a reshuffle.
- DiskRecipe now accepts a custom list of ingredients, rather than
being hard-coded (fixes#1755). Recipes can now return custom
`RecipeDisplay`s used to show a recipe in the crafting book. We use
this to replace the impostor recipes.
I'm not entirely sure how well this'll play with other recipe
mods. Here's hoping.
- Similarly, our recipe mod integration has been updated to use
RecipeDisplay. We had to do this as ingredients no longer accept
arbitrary ItemStacks (only a specific item).
== Misc ==
- Blocks/items now need to know their ID ahead of time (so they can
compute their description). This requires some reshuffling to the
registration code, but it's pretty minor.
- updateShape and neighborChanged no longer take a direction (the
Orientation is mostly null) and so invalidates all redstone and
peripherals.
- All the positions were lowered by one in game tests. It's a good
change (they now match the positions in structures), but annoying to
update for!
We now register these separately, rather than relying on the implicit
IMedia. This allows us to share a bit more logic between
PocketComputerItem and AbstractComputerItem. This doesn't make much
difference on 1.20.1, but does help a bit more on 1.21.1.
Now, hear me out, what if instead of having three @Nullable annotations,
we had *four*?
I've been wanting to switch away from javax.annoations for a while. The
library has been deprecated for ever and, unlike other @Nullable
annotations, the annotation is attached to the parameter/function
itself, rather than the type.
We use JSpecify rather than one of the alternatives (JetBrains,
CheckerFramework) mostly because it's what NullAway recommends. We keep
CheckerFramework around for @DefaultQualifier, and JB's for @Contract.
There are some ugly changes here — for instance, `@Nullable byte[]` is
replace by `byte @Nullable`, and `@Nullable ILuaMachine.Factory` is
`ILuaMachine.@Nullable Factory`. Ughr, I understand why, but it does not
spark joy :).
I removed this in fc834cd97fe941a192e40962ac3bb27be102ce09, way back in
late 2024. Looks like it's been updating in the meantime and I hadn't
noticed, so add it back.
I've simplified the code a little bit, to make use of our NeoForge's new
capability system, but otherwise it's almost exactly the same :D.
- Remove ContainerData.open.
- Change PlatformHelper.openMenu to take a separate display name and
MenuConstructor, rather than a MenuProvider. This makes the interface
slightly easier to use in the common case, where we want to use
lambdas instead.
- Check whether the computer is a command computer before registering
the capability.
- Add tests to check what is/isn't a peripheral. See also #2020, where
we forgot to register a peripheral on NeoForge 1.21.1.
Fixes#2070.
This occurs when syncing the server config to the client. Ideally we'd
not hit this code path in the first place, but unfortunately there's no
way to tell where the config file comes from.
Fixes#2065
As part of this, we also rewrite some of the turtle placing code, and
how it uses the turtle_can_use tag:
Minecraft 1.21 cleaned up the item/block clicking code a little bit,
splitting Block.use into Block.useItemOn and Block.useWithoutItem. The
first of these is pretty much exactly what we wanted in the first place,
so the tag was kinda redundant and we commented it out in the 1.21
update.
This was never meant to be a long-term fix, but time has gone by anyway.
We now check that tag, and call useWithoutItem() if present —
effectively restoring the previous behaviour.
Fixes#2011
- Disable Gradle module metadata for all Minecraft projects
- Run dependency exclusion code for all projects
We need the former for MDG on 1.21, so might as well do some other
cleanup while we're here.
useOn is now only responsible for firing the actual mod loader events,
and just returns the result of firing that event. The actual calling of
Block.use/Item.useOn now live in TurtlePlaceCommand.
This isn't especially useful for 1.20.1, but is more relevant on 1.21.1
when we look at #2011, as the shared code is much larger.
Okay, listen. I started writing a few more gametests (see #1682), and
then thought I'd do a cheeky Gradle update. However, that broke
vanilla-extract[^1], and also triggered a load of deprecation warnings,
and at that point it was too late to separate the too.

I've no motivation for modding right now, but always got time for build
system busywork!
CC:T (and CC before that) has always published its API docs. However,
they're not always the most helpful — they're useful if you know what
you're looking for, but aren't a good getting-started guide.
Part of the issue here is there's no examples, and everything is
described pretty abstractly. I have occasionally tried to improve this
(e.g. the peripheral docs in bdffabc08e2eb9895f966c949acc8334a2bf4475),
but it's a long road.
This commit adds a new example mod, which registers peripherals, an API
and a turtle upgrade. While the mod itself isn't exported as part of the
docs, we reference blocks of it using Java's new {@snippet} tag.
- Switch the Forge project to use NeoForge's new Legacy MDG plugin. We
don't *need* to do this, but it means the build logic for Forge and
NeoForge is more closely aligned.
- Add a new SnippetTaglet, which is a partial backport of Java 18+'s
{@snippet}.
- Add an example mod. This is a working multi-loader mod, complete with
datagen (albeit with no good multi-loader abstractions).
- Move our existing <pre>{@code ...}</pre> blocks into the example mod,
replacing them with {@snippet}s.
- Add a new overview page to the docs, providing some getting-started
information. We had this already in the dan200.computercraft.api
package docs, but it's not especially visible there.
MC 1.21.4 means we have to move more data generation code into the
client source set. Given all this code movement, it probably makes sense
to put data generation in a separate source set instead.
1.21.4 also has split data generators for client and server, but neither
mod loader recommends this. This means we can/should merge DataProviders
and ClientDataProviders into a single class.
Data generators are no longer bundled with the jar, which does reduce
file size, but by a tiny amount (~70KiB).
This was only present on the 1.21 NF version, hence not being noticed
before. Fixes#2020.
I pruned my Gradle cache recently, and I'm on some truly terrible hotel
wifi, so this is entirely untested. No beta, we die like men.
I've tried so many rewrites of the config system over the last few
months, in an attempt to get started on #1727. All of them stink, so
this is an attempt to apply some of the cleanup.
- Move some of the common logic into ConfigFile. This means we now
store more information ourselves for Forge, rather than reading it
out of the ForgeConfigSpec.
- Don't include the Range/Allowed keys in the translation key. This was
mostly there because of how we read comments from Forge, but it never
made much sense.
- Remove our separate Trie structure, and just encode the tree as part
of the children of a Group.
Some mods run their own datafixer chain, rather than piggybacking on top
of vanilla's. This is A BAD IDEA, but what can you do. If such a mod
tries to use ItemStackComponentizationFix in their own schema, then
CC:T's mixins will try to look up the turtle block entitie, and fail (as
they're not registered under the modded schema).
We now inject the block entity fix as a separate fixer, rather than
abusing ItemStackComponentizationFix.
See #2012
- Don't construct a fake player when crafting: vanilla now has its own
automated crafting, so no longer requires the presence of a player.
- Fix remainder stack not being set in some situations. Closes#2007.
- Move redstone methods out of the IAPIEnvironment, and into a new
RedstoneAccess. We similarly move the implementation from Environment
into a new RedstoneState class.
The interface is possibly a little redundant (interfaces with a
single implementation are always a little suspect), but it's nice to
keep the consumer/producer interfaces separate.
- Abstract most redstone API methods into a separate shared class, that
can be used by both the rs API and the new redstone relay.
- Add the new redstone relay block.
The docs are probably a little lacking here, but I really struggled to
write anything which wasn't just "look, it's the same as the redstone
API".
As part of the multi-loader work, we unified some of our event listening
code (0908acbe9bbb63d9c1be513d098e9a14d5bb68e3). This incorrectly caused
client pocket computer state to be reset when the player changes
dimension, rather than when the player (dis)connects.
The server code isn't aware of this behaviour, and so does not resend
pocket computer state when the player moves level. We could change this,
but just fixing when we clear the pocket computer state is a much nicer
fix!
Fixes#2004
Iris now has built-in support for NeoForge, so we can use the same
integration on both.
We also re-enable Forge's client tests, and test Iris there too.
Fixes#1967
Under Forge, netty-codec lives on the BOOT layer. However, this means it
does not have access to our jzlib (which lives on the GAME layer). To
fix this, we now shadow netty-codec (and its dependents, like netty-http
and netty-proxy) rather than jar-in-jaring them.
This involves some horrible build logic, but means websocket compression
works on Forge.
Fixes#1958.
Previously we used an RGBA byte array. However, this comes with some
overhead (extra memory reads, bounds checks).
Minecraft 1.21+ uses ARGB32 colours for rendering (well, in the public
code — internaly it converts to ABGR), so it makes sense to match that
here.
We also add some helper functions for dealing with ARGB32 colours. These
can be removed in 1.21, as Minecraft will have these builtin.
- Add a new custom lectern block, that is used to hold the printed
pages. We have to roll quite a lot of custom logic, so this is much
cleaner than trying to mixin to the existing lectern code.
- Add a new (entity) model for printed pages and books placed on a
lectern. I did originally think about just rendering the item (or the
in-hand/map version), but I think this is a bit more consistent with
vanilla.
However, we do still need to sync the item to the client (mostly to
get the current page count!). There is a risk of chunkbanning here,
but I think it's much harder than vanilla, due to the significantly
reduced page limit.
There's been a couple of bug reports in the past where the game would
crash if a turtle is destroyed while breaking a block (typically due to
the block exploding). This commit adds a test, to ensure that this is
handled gracefully.
I'm not entirely sure this is testing the right thing. Looking at the
issues in question, it doesn't look like I ever managed to reproduce the
bug. However, it's hopefully at least a quick sanity test to check we
never break this case.
- Update to latest NeoForge, fixing issues with config API changes.
Closes#1903.
- Update to latest Fabric, switching to the ender pearl conventional
tag, and new loot API.
In c8eadf401190db2b9c3145f768063097b9c345bd we marked our various modems
as "brittle", which ensures they do not pop-off computers when the whole
structure moves.
However, this still requires the modem to be glued — if the modem is
outside the superglue range, it will still pop off. We can fix it by
registering a special "attached check" for the various modem blocks,
which says that the modem should be moved when the adjacent block does.
Fixes#1913
- Rename ToolActions to ItemAbilities. Closes#1881.
- Remove our source set helper, as NG has built-in support for this
now.
- Remove our code to generate new JavaExec tasks from runs, as NG now
generates JavaExec tasks normally.
- Add a new computercraft:turtle_overlay dynamic registry, which stores
turtle overlays. Turtle overlays are just a model id and an
(optional) boolean flag, which specifies whether this overlay is
compatible with the elf/christmas model.
- Change the computercraft:overlay component to accept a
Holder<TurtleOverlay> (instead of just a model ID). This accepts both
an overlay ID or an inline overlay object (e.g. you can do
cc:turtle_normal[computercraft:overlay={model:"foo"}].
- Update turtle model and BE rendering code to render both the overlay
and elf (if compatible). Fixes#1663.
- Ideally we'd automatically load all models listed in the overlay
registry. However, resource loading happens separately to datapacks,
so we can't link the two.
Instead, we add a new assets/computercraft/extra_models.json file
that lists any additional models that should be loaded and baked.
This file includes all built-in overlay models, but external resource
packs and/or mods can easily extend it.
