Megatorch not blocking Silent Gems 3 spawns 1.15.2 MC (Mod Compatibility)
Zeure opened this issue ยท 8 comments
Hello,
MC version 1.15.2
Issue: hostile mobs from the Silent Gems 3 mod are not being blocked from spawning within the radius of the megatorch. I changed the config up to a higher value to test it out and have not been able to keep them from spawning. I'm playing on the Endless Frontier modpack from the twitch launcher. I haven't changed anything else in the configs. I'm not sure if you need reports from this version of MC, but I thought it couldn't hurt.
Thank you.
I was under the impression that this was by design as slimes are not affected by light levels.
Silent Gems has its own utility to reduce slimes & wisps from spawning.
Not the OP, but I was looking into something similar recently, and it tools like it should work in reasonably current versions of both mods for 1.15.2. Technical details:
-
MC TechColonies modpack version 3.5, TorchMaster 2.1.1-rc0, Silent's Gems 1.15.2-4.6.3+55
-
"/torchmaster entitydump" includes all the Silent's Gems mods you'd expect it to:

[28Jul2020 10:33:56.345] [Server thread/INFO] [net.xalcon.torchmaster.Torchmaster/]: silentgems:fire_wisp
(It also includes the related Silent's Gears' "Slingshot Projectile", which I'm not sure it should - but that might be simply that mod deriving a projectile from an aggressive mob entity base class ...)
- Relevant code parts in Silent's Gems:
-- Standard Forge event check to see if spawning isn't prevented: https://github.com/SilentChaos512/SilentGems/blob/1.15/src/main/java/net/silentchaos512/gems/world/spawner/CorruptedSlimeSpawner.java#L65
-- Corrupted Slime deriving fromnet.minecraft.entity.monster.SlimeEntity: https://github.com/SilentChaos512/SilentGems/blob/1.15/src/main/java/net/silentchaos512/gems/entity/CorruptedSlimeEntity.java#L15
- Are those entities listed under either the dreadlamp or the mega torch? Or just as "available"?
- Have you tried adding them explicitly to the megatorch via the config?
Those entities are listed for the mega torch. And I didn't add anything to the config (it's not my mod pack anyway), it just seems to work with reasonably new versions of both mods.
Full torchmaster.toml file in that modpack looks like this:

/edit
I'm stupid - i didnt read everything you wrote.
I hope I can find the time to check this myself soon but I don't have a working 1.15 development environment at the moment.
I've checked locally with just Torchmaster and Silent Gems and I'm unable to replicate the issue. I've checked my code and noticed some missing features from earlier versions - specifically the more aggressive spawn prevention option. While I'm not sure if this will fix the issue, its definitely something that should be in the mod and I hope it works for you.
Generally, when the CheckSpawn even is running, I check if any other mod in the chain already set the spawn result to "Allow" rather than "Default". The aggressiveSpawnCheck config setting will override this check but it is disabled by default to avoid issues with other spawn controlling mods.
This feature will be available in Torchmaster 2.2.2 for MC 1.15 and 2.3.1 for MC 1.16. Please let me know if enabling this option changes anything for you.
