Overview of changes

net.minecraftforge.fml.common.IWorldGenerator -> net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.Feature
- No longer needed. I think it should be removed by forge, as it has been superseded by vanilla functionality. See below.
net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenerator -> net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.Feature
- This would also be the most common replacement of Forge's IWorldGenerator. This should be the solution for anything smaller than a chunk.
- Except the 8 blocks offset. This is not a thing anymore. Population now works just like any normal person would expect.
- Position of features is controlled by instances of net.minecraft.world.gen.placement.BasePlacement instead of by the feature itself.
net.minecraft.world.gen.MapGenBase -> net.minecraft.world.gen.carver.IWorldCarver
This is now finally exposed to mods in a useful way. As it was mostly hidden from modders before, not eveyone may know what it is, so it will be explained later. Generates caves a

This primer is licensed under CC0, do whatever you want.

BUT do note that this can be updated, so leave a link here so readers can see the updated information themselves.

1.13 and 1.14 are lumped together in this doc, you're on your own if you just want to go to 1.13 and not 1.14, for some reason.

1.15 stuff: https://gist.github.com/williewillus/30d7e3f775fe93c503bddf054ef3f93e

Things in Advance

ResourceLocation now throw on non-snake-case names instead of silently lowercasing for you, so you probably should go and change all those string constants now. More precisely, domains must only contain alphanumeric lowercase, underscore (_), dash (-), or dot (.). Paths have the same restrictions, but can also contain forward slashes (/).

Hey! So you have a 1.11 mod and want to have a go at supporting MCMultiPart 2? Great! Let's get started!

I should first of all note that the API is NOT final, though the changes to it won't be very big and most likely won't affect you. Still, I would recommend doing this in a separate branch.

Depending on MCMP2

The first thing you'll want to do is add MCMP to your dev environment. You can read about that here: https://github.com/amadornes/MCMultiPart/blob/1.11/README.md
You'll need to use experimental builds because there is no stable build yet.

Capabilities

Capabilities...a wondrous new system. That you've probably been forced into using. But let's not talk about that and get straight into the learning!

Terms and definitions

Capability System - This entire system; what this primer is about. This system is named very literally for what it does.
- Capability - the quality of being capable; capacity; ability
Capable - having power and ability

1.8 Rendering Primer by williewillus (formatted to markdown by gigaherz)

Note: This primer assumes you are using MinecraftForge 1.8.9 build 1670 or above. Correctness not guaranteed otherwise. Note 2: This primer is for 1.8.x. Changes in 1.9 are on another gist: https://gist.github.com/williewillus/e37edde85dc78d2e138c

This guide is intended for those with a clear knowledge of general modding and want a quick up to speed on how new things work. If you are confused, please hop on IRC and ask for help!

Blocks and Items

1.7: EVERY BLOCK SHAPE EVER was hardcoded into RenderBlocks or your ISBRH. Oh God, just look at that class. Actually don’t, if you value your sanity.

Jekyll NavBar

In building a site powered by Jekyll and hosted by GitHub, I wanted the ability to highlight the current page's tab in the bar. I also wanted the bar to support second-level items (i.e. a dropdown), which proved somewhat tricky. This is the solution I arrived at after a few hours of fiddling around.

Construction

The contents of the navigation bar are contained in a data file located at _data/navigation.yml. This makes it accessible via the site-wide Liquid element {{ site.data.navigation}}. You can see the file for the formatting I used.

	Basic loading.
	To be done on ServerInit. This means things will load multiple times on the client.
	Benifits:
	Allows us to just nuke the custom recipes every server init
	Allows us to have save leve overrides.
	Primes us for syncing recipe types/contents S->C {Not gunna happen in 1.12, but I expect Mojang to work twards this in 1.13+}
	Cons:
	Increases single player server load time. No known stats at the moment but shouldn't be TO bad

	Loading Process:

	local char_to_hex = function(c)
	return string.format("%%%02X", string.byte(c))
	end

	local function urlencode(url)
	if url == nil then
	return

	url = url:gsub("\n", "\r\n")
	url = url:gsub("([^%w ])", char_to_hex)
