[1.7.10]NoItemRotation - is it not making you dizzy?

[ljfa]

NoItemRotation
Are you sick of items spinning around like crazy when they're lying on the ground? Are you? Huh? I bet you are.
Well I got a solution for you. This small and uncreatively named mod will prevent that. It's as simple as that.
It also has an option to prevent them from bobbing up and down.

This should be on the top of every mod post

Well I guess the description should be first

 

[1SDAN]

No, then people actually have an excuse to go elsewhere, this way the first thing they see is the darn warning signs

 

[xTordX]

@playerismc here you go.

Now make a mod where the items spin FASTER! I don't feel like I'm getting dizzy enough when I'm playing modded Minecraft...

What are you trying to achieve by posting that warning?

 

[ljfa]

What are you trying to achieve by posting that warning?

That people don't download from malicious sites where they possibly get malware and stuff.

 

[ljfa]

I made a few changes that help prevent problems, but it is still possible of course.
And it will now show up in the log if it doesn't work for some reason.

 

[Celestialphoenix]

As weird as this sounds, could you add the option to make items spin backwards?

Yea that should be possible. And maybe I can also stop items from bobbing up and down.

Surely if someone has read the warning, then they're already downloading it from here?

And if they later download the mod from somewhere else, then they've forgotten the warning by then.

Hmm...makes sense
Well I hope to raise awareness for those sites

 

[Celestialphoenix]

Its a case of awareness and getting the general voice out via word of mouth- as I really can't see malicious sites putting that warning out top so its the only viable way to get the message across.

It's funny how little mods like this can make an impact on someone's entire experience.

@ljfa
In other words it's like putting a "WARNING, Minefield" sign on an area that has no landmines.

Oh yea, I made this in order to familiarize myself with ASM manipulation. I'm not even sure if this is necessary here.

Well at least I can give a rough description on how minefields look like

Had a look at your ASM code and I think you have done well. Just remember that it shouldn't be used at every opportunity, especially on render code.

A suggestion I might make is to make use of GOTO instructions rather than removing nodes. This means that you don't need to delete the nodes (which other ASM mods might look for) and it's a lot easier to understand. I'm currently going through my mod and making the change to use GOTO instructions vs. removing nodes.

Sure, it's a last resort. Looks like Forge has no easy way to affect all items' rendering. Sure, I could've made my own renderer and register it to every item in the game, but that would probably be more complex than what I have. And I wanted to learn ASM manipulation

That is probably a good idea. Thanks!
