The feature nobody asked for, but we're getting anyway.
Old way to register a turtle/pocket computer upgrade:
ComputerCraftAPI.registerTurtleUpgrade(new MyUpgrade(new ResourceLocation("my_mod", "my_upgrade")));
New way to register a turtle/pocket computer upgrade:
First, define a serialiser for your turtle upgrade type:
static final DeferredRegister<TurtleUpgradeSerialiser<?>> SERIALISERS = DeferredRegister.create( TurtleUpgradeSerialiser.TYPE, "my_mod" );
public static final RegistryObject<TurtleUpgradeSerialiser<MyUpgrade>> MY_UPGRADE =
SERIALISERS.register( "my_upgrade", () -> TurtleUpgradeSerialiser.simple( MyUpgrade::new ) );
SERIALISERS.register(bus); // Call in your mod constructor.
Now either create a JSON string or use a data generator to register your upgrades:
class TurtleDataGenerator extends TurtleUpgradeDataProvider {
@Override
protected void addUpgrades( @Nonnull Consumer<Upgrade<TurtleUpgradeSerialiser<?>>> addUpgrade )
simple(new ResourceLocation("my_mod", my_upgrade"), MY_UPGRADE.get()).add(addUpgrade);
}
}
See much better! In all seriousness, this does offer some benefits,
namely that it's now possible to overwrite or create upgrades via
datapacks.
Actual changes:
- Remove ComputerCraftAPI.register{Turtle,Pocket}Upgrade functions.
- Instead add {Turtle,Pocket}UpgradeSerialiser classes, which are used
to load upgrades from JSON files in datapacks, and then read/write
them to network packets (much like recipe serialisers).
- The upgrade registries now subscribe to datapack reload events. They
find all JSON files in the
data/$mod_id/computercraft/{turtle,pocket}_upgrades directories,
parse them, and then register them as upgrades.
Once datapacks have fully reloaded, these upgrades are then sent over
the network to the client.
- Add data generators for turtle and pocket computer upgrades, to make
the creation of JSON files a bit easier.
- Port all of CC:T's upgrades over to use the new system.
