Lockable (Minecraft Mod)

I've been working on a Minecraft mod!

The mod lets you lock almost every container, and I feel that it fits into vanilla Minecraft quite well—not perfectly, but as someone with really high standards when making modpacks, it's a mod that I'd definitely add to the pack.

The mod is for the Quilt modloader (works with Fabric mods), and I will unfortunately not be porting it to Forge or NeoForge for the time being.

I may make a short video about it over on my second channel. I've been interested in actually making a Minecraft-specific channel, so we'll see if I do that... I expect to make many more mods and Minecraft-related things, so I think it'd make sense. However, I would also like to upload miscellaneous things to the second channel. So we'll see what I do!

Regardless, I'll announce when the mod is out (very soon)!

Xp bars in RPGStats/Quilt

This was arguably a long time coming but hey, its (almost) here now!

This ended up being a bit annoying to implement, but wasnt impossible. The main issue actually ended up being that action bar messages stay for a fixed duration (and fade for a fixed duration D:)

Luckily, was able to solve this by just writing some code to display it manually, by resending the message every 0.5 seconds and then sending an empty message at the end to clear it (although ill probably remove the clearing, the fade is nice)

This code launches that task, cancels any previous xp bars being shown to the player (so they dont end up fighting each other) and saves itself into the map. This would eventually cause a very slow memory leak ofc, as players wouldn't get removed after their xp bar is done! Luckily, we can just implement our own mini-gc.

We can let the JVM GC clear up stuff here by just dropping players from the map every 30 seconds if they have a dead xp bar. Although writing this, im realizing this is still going to cause some issues as at max, a player is going to be held onto for at least 30 seconds, so lets lower that.

Pretty cheap operation so, might as well keep it pretty low here. RPGStats/Quilt should hopefully be out in about a week or less here, so woo
