Everything old is new again!
CC's network message implementation has gone through several iterations:
- Originally network messages were implemented with a single class,
which held an packet id/type and and opaque blobs of data (as
string/int/byte/NBT arrays), and a big switch statement to decode and
process this data.
- In 42d3901ee3, we split the messages
into different classes all inheriting from NetworkMessage - this bit
we've stuck with ever since.
Each packet had a `getId(): int` method, which returned the
discriminator for this packet.
- However, getId() was only used when registering the packet, not when
sending, and so in ce0685c31f we
removed it, just passing in a constant integer at registration
instead.
- In 53abe5e56e, we made some relatively
minor changes to make the code more multi-loader/split-source
friendly. However, this meant when we finally came to add Fabric
support (8152f19b6e), we had to
re-implement a lot of Forge's network code.
In 1.20.4, Forge moves to a system much closer to Fabric's (and indeed,
Minecraft's own CustomPacketPayload), and so it makes sense to adapt to
that now. As such, we:
- Add a new MessageType interface. This is implemented by the
loader-specific modules, and holds whatever information is needed to
register the packet (e.g. discriminator, reader function).
- Each NetworkMessage now has a type(): MessageType<?> function. This
is used by the Fabric networking code (and for NeoForge's on 1.20.4)
instead of a class lookup.
- NetworkMessages now creates/stores these MessageType<T>s (much like
we'd do for registries), and provides getters for the
clientbound/serverbound messages. Mod initialisers then call these
getters to register packets.
- For Forge, this is relatively unchanged. For Fabric, we now
`FabricPacket`s.
- Clean up option parsing a bit, so it uses the Option, rather than its
corresponding character code.
- Add a new -L/--allow-local-domains flag to remove the $private rule
from the HTTP rules.
While ComputerFamily is still useful, there's definitely some places
where it adds an extra layer of indirection. This commit attempts to
clean up some places where we no longer need it.
- Remove ComputerFamily from AbstractComputerBlock. The only place this
was needed is in TurtleBlock, and that can be replaced with normal
Minecraft explosion resistence!
- Pass in the fuel limit to the turtle block entity, rather than
deriving it from current family.
- The turtle BERs now derive their model from the turtle's item, rather
than the turtle's family.
- When creating upgrade/overlay recipes, use the item's name, rather
than {pocket,turtle}_family. This means we can drop getFamily() from
IComputerItem (it is still needed on to handle the UI).
- We replace IComputerItem.withFamily with a method to change to a
different item of the same type. ComputerUpgradeRecipe no longer
takes a family, and instead just uses the result's item.
- Computer blocks now use the normal Block.asItem() to find their
corresponding item, rather than looking it up via family.
The above means we can remove all the family-based XyzItem.create(...)
methods, which have always felt a little ugly.
We still need ComputerFamily for a couple of things:
- Permission checks for command computers.
- Checks for mouse/colour support in ServerComputer.
- UI textures.
- Add a check to ensure declared dependencies in the :core project, and
those inherited from Minecraft are the same.
- Compute the next Cobalt version, rather than specifying it manually.
- Add the gradle versions plugin (and version catalog update), and
update some versions.
Previously we prevented our published full jar depending on any of the
other projects by excluding the whole cc.tweaked jar. However, as Cobalt
also now lives in that group, this meant we were missing the Cobalt
dependency.
Rather than specifying a wildcard, we now exclude the dependencies when
adding them to the project.
This is a bit of an odd combination of a few bugs:
- When the terminal component is blurred, we fire a mouse_up event for
the last-held button. However, we had an off-by-1 error here, so this
only triggered for the right/middle buttons.
- This was obsucuring the second bug, which is when we clicked within
the terminal, this caused the terminal to be blurred (thus releasing
the mouse) and then focused again.
We fix this by only setting the focus if there's actually a change.
Fixes#1655
When adding/removing observers, we locked on the observer, then
acquired the global lock. When a metric is observed, then we acquire the
global lock and then the observer lock.
If these happen at the same time, we can easily end up with a deadlock.
We simply avoid holding the observer lock for the entire add/remove
process (instead only locking when actually needed).
Closes#1639
This commit adds abstract classes to describe the interface for our
mod-loader-specific generic peripherals (inventories, fluid storage,
item storage).
This offers several advantages:
- Javadoc to illuaminate conversion no longer needs the Forge project
(just core and common).
- Ensures we have a consistent interface between Forge and Fabric.
Note, this does /not/ implement fluid or energy storage for Fabric. We
probably could do fluid without issue, but not something worth doing
right now.
Rather than assuming static methods are generic, and instance methods
are direct, the Generator now has separate entrypoints for handling
instance and generic methods.
As a result of this change, we've also relaxed some of the validation
code. As a result, we now allow calling private/protected methods
which are annotated with @LuaFunction.
This adds a new "java_allocation" metric, which tracks the number of
bytes allocated while executing the computer (as measured by Java). This
is not an 100% reliable number, but hopefully gives some insight into
what computers are doing.
Historically CC has supported two modes when working with file handles
(and HTTP requests):
- Text mode, which reads/write using UTF-8.
- Binary mode, which reads/writes the raw bytes.
However, this can be confusing at times. CC/Lua doesn't actually support
unicode, so any characters beyond the 0.255 range were replaced with
'?'. This meant that most of the time you were better off just using
binary mode.
This commit unifies text and binary mode - we now /always/ read the raw
bytes of the file, rather than converting to/from UTF-8. Binary mode now
only specifies whether handle.read() returns a number (and .write(123)
writes a byte rather than coercing to a string).
- Refactor the entire handle hierarchy. We now have an AbstractMount
base class, which has the concrete implementation of all methods. The
public-facing classes then re-export these methods by annotating
them with @LuaFunction.
These implementations are based on the
Binary{Readable,Writable}Handle classes. The Encoded{..}Handle
versions are now entirely removed.
- As we no longer need to use BufferedReader/BufferedWriter, we can
remove quite a lot of logic in Filesystem to handle wrapping
closeable objects.
- Add a new WritableMount.openFile method, which generalises
openForWrite/openForAppend to accept OpenOptions. This allows us to
support update mode (r+, w+) in fs.open.
- fs.open now uses the new handle types, and supports update (r+, w+)
mode.
- http.request now uses the new readable handle type. We no longer
encode the request body to UTF-8, nor decode the response from UTF-8.
- Websockets now return text frame's contents directly, rather than
converting it from UTF-8. Sending text frames now attempts to treat
the passed string as UTF-8, rather than treating it as latin1.
- Update Cobalt to 0.8.0, switching our Lua version to 5.2(ish).
- Remove our `load` wrapper, as we no longer need to inject _ENV into
the enviroment table.
- Update the parser to handle labels and goto. This doesn't check that
gotos are well formed, but at least means the parser doesn't fall
over on them.
- Update our docs to reflect the changes to Cobalt.
This tries to cover some holes in our existing coverage.
- Port some of our Java readable handle tests to Lua (and also clean up
the Java versions to stop using ObjectWrapper - that dates to
pre-@LuaFunction!)
- Test a couple of discrepancies between binary and text handles. This
is mostly to do with the original number-based .read() and .write()
interface for binary handles.
- Fix a couple of edge cases in file-size accounting.
This is largely based on our existing wiki page. I've pruned out a
couple of entries which I think are largely irrelevant (config file
splitting, Java API changes).
10/10 job by me of changing nothing since 1.13. Shame to break that
streak really.
Does it count as an emulator when it's official? I hope not, as this'd
make it my fourth or fifth emulator at this point.

Developing/debugging CraftOS is a massive pain to do inside Minecraft,
as any change to resources requires a compile+hot swap cycle (and
sometimes a `/reload` in-game). As such, it's often more convenient to
spin up an emulator, pointing it to load the ROM from CC:T's sources.
However, this isn't practical when also making changes to the Java
classes. In this case, we either need to go in-game, or build a custom
version of CCEmuX.
This commit offers an alternative option: we now have our own emulator,
which allows us to hot swap both Lua and Java to our heart's content.
Most of the code here is based on our monitor TBO renderer. We probably
could share some more of this, but there's not really a good place for
it - feels a bit weird just to chuck it in :core.
This is *not* a general-purpose emulator. It's limited in a lot of
ways (won't launch on Mac[^1], no support for multiple computers) - just
stick to what's there already.
[^1]: We require OpenGL 4.5 due to our use of DSA.
In practice, we're never going to change this to true by default. The
old Tekkit Legends pack enabled this[^1], and that caused a lot of
problems, though admittedly back in 2016 so things might be better now.
If people do want this functionality, it should be fairly easy to
replicate with a datapack, adding a file to rom/autorun.

Hate that I remember this, why is this still in my brain?
- Move most error message constants to a new MountHelpers class.
- Be a little more consistent in when we throw "No such file" vs "Not a
file/directory" messages.
The two implementations aren't entirely compatible - the implementation
returned by .of will throw an NPE on .contains(null), whereas the
Collections implementations just return false. However, we try to avoid
passing null to collections methods, so this should be safe.
There's no strong reason to do this, but it helps make the code a little
more consistent
As of 1.20, sign messages are immutable - we need to do
text = text.setMesssage(...) instead. Also do a tiny bit of cleanup to
this function while we're here.
Probably not the best use of my lunch break :D:.
Fixes#1611.
This is an attempt to enforce better separation between ComputerThread
and ComputerExecutor. Both of these classes are pretty complex in their
own right, and the way the two bleed into each other makes it all the
more confusing!
This effectively splits the ComputerExecutor into two separate classes:
- ComputerScheduler.Executor (with the actual implementation inside
ComputerThread): This holds all the ComputerThread-related logic
which used to be in ComputerExecutor, including:
- before/after work hooks
- is-on-thread tracking
- virtual runtime computation
- ComputerScheduler.Worker: This encapsulates all the computer-related
behaviour. The actual implementation remains in ComputerExecutor.
The boundaries are still a little fuzzy here, and it's all definitely
more coupled then I'd like, but still an improvement!
There are several additional changes at the same time:
- TimeoutState has also been split up, to better define the boundary
between consumers (such as ComputerExecutor and ILuaMachine) and
controllers (ComputerThread).
The getters still live in TimeoutState, but the core logic lives in
ManagedTimeoutState.
- We no longer track cumulative time in the TimeoutState. Instead, we
allow varying the timeout of a computer. When a computer is paused,
we store the remaining time, and restore it when resuming again.
This also allows us give a longer timeout for computer
startup/shutdown, hopefully avoiding some of those class-not-found
issues we've seen.
- We try to make the state machine of how ComputerExecutors live on the
queue a little more explicit. This is very messy/confusing -
something I want to property test in the future.
I'm sure there's more to be done here, especially in ComputerExecutor,
but hopefully this makes future changes a little less intimidating.
Allows registering arbitrary block lookup functions instead of a
platform-specific capability. This is roughly what Fabric did before,
but generalised to also take an invalidation callback.
This callback is a little nasty - it needs to be a NonNullableConsumer
on Forge, but that class isn't available on Fabric. For now, we make the
lookup function (and thus the generic peripheral provider) generic on
some <T extends Runnable> type, then specialise that on the Forge side.
Hopefully we can clean this up when NeoForge reworks capabilities.
This is the second time I've rewritten our class generation in a little
over a month. Oh dear!
Back in d562a051c7 we started using method
handles inside our generated ASM, effectively replacing a direct call
with .invokeExact on a constant method handle.
This goes one step further and removes our ASM entirely, building up a
MethodHandle that checks arguments and then wraps the return value.
Rather than generating a class, we just return a new LuaFunction
instance that invokeExacts the method handle.
This is definitely slower than what we had before, but in the order of
8ns vs 12ns (in the worst case, sometimes they're much more comparable),
so I'm not too worried in practice.
However, generation of the actual method is now a bit faster. I've not
done any proper benchmarking, but it's about 20-30% faster.
This also gives us a bit more flexibility in the future, for instance
uisng bound MethodHandles in generation (e.g. for instance methods on
GenericSources). Not something I'm planning on doing right now, but is
an option.
Or rather, being published to the wrong place. The java-convention
plugin sets the group, but that was applied after the publishing one - I
was hoping it'd read that property lazy, but clearly not!
Wow, some of this is /old/. All the Maps.newHashMap stuff dates back to
Java 6, so must originally be CCTweaks code?!
We're unlikely to drop our Guava dependency (we use too much other
stuff), but we should make the most of the stdlib where possible.
This should be significantly faster than LoadingCache (2.5x in my
benchmarks, but not sure they're representative). This isn't super
important - a lookup only takes 6us - but still worth using!
