The 7.0.0 Snapshot of PetBlocks is available for Sponge 7.0.0 and Minecraft 1.12.0 - 1.12.2.

As this plugin uses NMS via MCP it is currently only available for this version.

codeHusky · April 17, 2018, 4:03pm

Do you really need to use the NMS for this?

Shynixn · April 17, 2018, 4:35pm

Custom Entities, Pathfinder, WASD entity controlling, yeah I think it needs NMS. If you have got an idea how to get rid of it, please tell me

codeHusky · April 17, 2018, 4:54pm

Also, one more thing. Your plugin is under Apache 2.0, so this clause You are not allowed redistribute the origin plugin binary means nothing, jsyk. I’m sure nobody will ignore that, but just know it has no legal footing.

Shynixn · April 17, 2018, 5:45pm

Psst, don’t tell them. You can also download it from the central maven repository without checking this page, so this is just hint for users that I do not like to see that.

Still, thanks for checking my description and giving me feedback!

_InfinityMC · April 17, 2018, 6:45pm

ayyy glad to see you on sponge now!

Fox_great · April 22, 2018, 8:54am

Thank you for this plugin. I’ll use it on my server

Shynixn · April 22, 2018, 10:08am

Nice Please report any issues or bugs you encounter. I’m still new to the Sponge community.

Peinful · April 23, 2018, 6:02pm

Are we able to use spongeForge with this plugin? Installation says spongeVanilla.

Shynixn · April 24, 2018, 12:29pm

I’m currently checking it as PetBlocks was developed via SpongeVanilla and it seems like the NMS part generates troubles with SpongeForge.

Peinful · April 24, 2018, 4:42pm

Alright thanks for the update! Excited to use this plugin on my server.

pie_flavor · April 24, 2018, 11:55pm

It shouldn’t cause issues with SpongeForge if you’re doing it correctly - VanillaGradle works just fine with Forge too.

Peinful · April 25, 2018, 1:15am

I’m running pixelmon as a main mod, I’m assuming this is causing conflicts.

pie_flavor · April 25, 2018, 4:57am

I was replying to the mod author, not you. Pixelmon shouldn’t be breaking anything that PetBlocks would use, so the only way that Pixelmon would break the plugin is if the plugin was doing NMS wrong.

Shynixn · April 25, 2018, 7:09am

I have already found the issue, the entity registry gets moved by Forge and replaced by it’s own implementation. This means the NMS location of the entity registry is no longer valid and it crashes. All other parts work fine (riding, pathfinder etc…). It should be fixed next version.

Peinful · April 26, 2018, 4:14am

YES! Thanks for the fix!

Shynixn · April 28, 2018, 3:27pm

A new version has been released for PetBlocks, it is available for download here.

Using PetBlocks 7.0.1 and SpongeForge: 1.12.2-2611-7.1.0-BETA-2981

When you spawn a petblock in the wild it flashes for a second then dissapears, no console errors and I can spawn passive and hostile mobs in the world

Shynixn · May 15, 2018, 5:38pm

I have already discussed it on github. It should be fixed next version.
