I have a problem finding entitties in a five block radius around the player [1.17]

[Feroov]

It's a short line I am having an issue with:

                        List<LivingEntity> entities = player.getLevel().getNearbyEntities(LivingEntity.class,
                                player.getBoundingBox().inflate(5,0,5), LivingEntity::isAlive);

On the LivingEntity::isAlive part where it says "is not a functional interface"

Any suggestions?

you need a EntityPredicate and not a Function

How can I do that?

Incorrect.

Look at the parameters of getNearbyEntities. There is no predicate parameter. You can pass one indirectly using the TargetingConditions parameter.

I'm still a bit lost, here is a picture just in case:

I am deeply sorry and apologize, my java knowledge isn't the best but sometimes simple stuff like these confuse me but can do other complex stuff,

I've put this and pretty sure this is wrong as well, could you maybe please show me the correct way

                        List<LivingEntity> entities = player.getLevel().getNearbyEntities(LivingEntity.class,
                                TargetingConditions.DEFAULT,
                                player.getBoundingBox().inflate(5,0,5), LivingEntity::isAlive);

it was the 1.16.5 name for TargetingConditions

I'm not sure which method you use, since there is only one method in Level with the name getNearbyEntities and it requires 4 parameters:

getNearbyEntities(Class<T>, TargetingConditions, LivingEntity, AABB)

and not

getNearbyEntities(Class<T>, AABB, TargetingConditions)

Yes it worked now, thank you so so much for all who helped appreciate it
