Hack Client Coding - Handling Hacks/Modules

[Wampwire]

Since no-one has posted anything about minecraft clients recently, I thought why not just keep some new people refreshed on coding a client more efficiently..

So we have our client set up, everything works, it loads. Yey.

Now we want to add in our modules, hacks, whatever you want to call them.

So lets create a basic template for our hacks. Lets call it a Module.
This module will contain some of the vital methods we would want our hacks to have. These could range from their key bind, name, to things like onClick methods or anything else you would want.

So something like that would look like this:

public class Module
{
    private String name;
    private int key;

    public Module(String name, int key)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.key = key;
    }

    public void onEnable()
    {
    }

    public void onDisable()
    {
    }
}

And everyone has probably seen these everywhere in the tutorials. Now what a smart thing to do would be is to use the Java language to its fullest and use what it gives us.

So why not create a handler for the hacks. This handler would have an array list which would hold modules.

private ArrayList<Module> modules;

Then we would initialize the arraylist to a new arraylist. Afterwards, we want to add every hack into the array list.
Now the fun part is getting them to work.
Java provides a really useful loop called the for loop which, when used with arrays can be very very very useful.

So why not create one?

for(Module m : modules)
{
    if(ck.checkKey(m.getKey()))
    {
        m.onEnable(); //Or just create a toggle for this
    }
}

So if we write that in pseudocode,

For every Module (which we call m) in the modules array list, do the following :
check if the key matches that modules key. If it does then proceed to enable method of the module.

So now it gives more organization to the client, instead of creating all of the different methods for every hack.

This was just a refresher for a client coding. If you have any questions just ask? I guess..

Or you could just copy what Minecraft does

Or that too :>

pls learn2inheritance

also iterating an array is so much slower than just getting from a map

Either way people starting out dont have a clue to what they are doing and using hashmaps would skip a lot of basic shit.. Iteration of array speed depends on how fast your computer can process data and thats not really a problem for me But I see what you are saying

And you don't see a problem with them not trying to learn the language first? ;D

No getting from a hashmap is faster than iterating over unecessary methods that will just return after an if statement. Too many calls for no absolute reason. Its good programming practice as well as reduces overhead leaving room for more overhead for other things if you absolutely need it.

Tbh, most people just want to make like an amazing client by copying and skidding things.. They dont really care about the programming language itself. They just care about taking something not theirs and call it their own.. v.v Honestly, I dont give a shit. They do what they want, but in the end, they dont get the experience they would if they actually stopped and looked at Java itself.

That statement is so contradictory.
