i made a couple of items which I thought would be interesting to make them throwable. I just copied the snowball item and entity classes and adjusted the item class line:

 

-par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntitySnowball(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));

 

No errors occur but when I right click, no entity appears. It does hit mobs.

What do I have to add to make the entity appear?

I had the same problem but I found this link which helped me render them here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1770612-rendering-problem-with-throwable-item/

 

also change entitysnowball to your entity so that when it does render it wont render as a snowball

Oh and for the hell of it look at my class

I don't know, I copied exactly what the forum post said - didn't work. Copied exactly what you had - still didn't work.

 

Did you make a render class. and if so did you register it in your client proxy or main class

Yes, I put this in my main class:

 

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{
         RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityThrowableItem.class, new RenderThrowableItem());
}

 

And made the render class for it.

 

And a question. Are all three of these classes (the item, entity and render) just taking the items image and using it for the entity then rendering it?
