get entity player is looking at

[8iggy]

Hello! I'm trying to figure out if and what entity is the player looking at. here is my current code.

if (Minecraft.getInstance().objectMouseOver.getType() == RayTraceResult.Type.ENTITY) {
            
        }

All I need to know is how to get the entity!

Thanks just making sure this is correct. here's my code

if (Minecraft.getInstance().objectMouseOver.getType() == RayTraceResult.Type.ENTITY) {
            EntityRayTraceResult result = (EntityRayTraceResult) Minecraft.getInstance().objectMouseOver;
            if (result.getEntity().getType() == EntityType.PLAYER) {
                entity = (ServerPlayerEntity) result.getEntity();
            }
        }

Yes, but it will crash at

entity = (ServerPlayerEntity) result.getEntity();

Since it is always a client player, not server.
