Package net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx

Class WorldVfx

java.lang.Object

net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.WorldVfx

public final class WorldVfx
extends Object

World effects: glowing shapes drawn in the world, after everything else in it and before the player's hand. They are lit by nothing, blend over or add to the scene (VfxBlend), hide behind solid things and fade softly where they meet them (VfxMaterial.softness()).

Three ways in:

• WorldParticles: particles that live on their own once spawned.
• register(net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation, net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.VfxRenderer): a VfxRenderer called every frame, to draw beams, trails and shapes that follow something.
• beam(net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.VfxMaterial, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3, float, int, int) and flash(net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.VfxMaterial, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3, net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.Curve, int, int): one-line effects that draw themselves and fade.

Effects started by the server go through VfxEffects.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static void	beam(VfxMaterial material, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 from, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 to, float width, int argb, int ticks)	A beam that appears at once and fades away over some ticks, narrowing as it goes.
static void	flash(VfxMaterial material, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 position, Curve size, int argb, int ticks)	A camera-facing shape that swells and fades over some ticks: a flash, or with VfxMaterial.RING a shockwave.
static void	groundFlash(VfxMaterial material, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 position, Curve size, int argb, int ticks)	Like flash(net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.VfxMaterial, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3, net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.Curve, int, int), lying flat on the ground instead of facing the camera.
static void	register(net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation id, VfxRenderer renderer)	Calls a renderer every frame a world is drawn, until it's unregistered.
static void	unregister(net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation id)

register

public static void register(net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation id,
 VfxRenderer renderer)

unregister

public static void unregister(net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation id)

beam

public static void beam(VfxMaterial material,
 net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 from,
 net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 to,
 float width,
 int argb,
 int ticks)

A beam that appears at once and fades away over some ticks, narrowing as it goes.

Parameters:

width - its full width at the start, in blocks

flash

public static void flash(VfxMaterial material,
 net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 position,
 Curve size,
 int argb,
 int ticks)

A camera-facing shape that swells and fades over some ticks: a flash, or with VfxMaterial.RING a shockwave.

Parameters:

size - half its width over its life, in blocks

groundFlash

public static void groundFlash(VfxMaterial material,
 net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3 position,
 Curve size,
 int argb,
 int ticks)

Like flash(net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.VfxMaterial, net.minecraft.world.phys.Vec3, net.ixdarklord.coolcatcanvas.api.client.vfx.Curve, int, int), lying flat on the ground instead of facing the camera.
