Interface BaseClassRegistration

@Experimental
@NonExtendable
public interface BaseClassRegistration

Allows add-ons to notify AE2 of their BlockEntity classes that do derive from AE2 block entity classes. AE2 will try to add default tooltip providers for common AE2 API interfaces for these addon block entity classes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	addBaseBlockEntity(Class<? extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BlockEntity> blockEntityClass, Class<? extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block> blockClass)	Adds AE2s tooltip providers for the following interfaces to a given block entity/block and their subclasses.
<T extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BlockEntity & IPartHost> void	addPartHost(Class<T> blockEntityClass, Class<? extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block> blockClass)	Adds AE2s part tooltip providers for third party IPartHost implementations.

Method Details

addBaseBlockEntity

void addBaseBlockEntity(Class<? extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BlockEntity> blockEntityClass,
 Class<? extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block> blockClass)

Adds AE2s tooltip providers for the following interfaces to a given block entity/block and their subclasses.

• IGridConnectedBlockEntity
• IAEPowerStorage

Please note that AE2 will already register these providers for its own block entity base class (AEBaseBlockEntity). This method is only useful if you implement any of the interfaces listed above on your own block entity class, which does not extend from an internal AE2 block entity base class.

This method is needed because some tooltip mods only allow registering providers for subclasses of BlockEntity, and not for arbitrary interfaces.

addPartHost

<T extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BlockEntity & IPartHost>
void addPartHost(Class<T> blockEntityClass,
 Class<? extends net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block> blockClass)

Adds AE2s part tooltip providers for third party IPartHost implementations.

Please note that AE2 will already register these providers for its own part host (CableBusBlockEntity). This method is only useful if your addon implements its own IPartHost, which does not extend from an internal AE2 block entity base class.

This method is needed because some tooltip mods only allow registering providers for subclasses of BlockEntity, and not for arbitrary interfaces.
