I Recently started adding another item to my mod, which is based on the code for the egg, and when I wanted to apply my own texture to the projectile entity, I couldn't figure out how to do it. When I test this in game using the default egg code, no sprite shows up but the entity still exists, and I cant find a reference to the texture anywhere on the code. Any suggestions?

 

Here is my code for the projectile entity that I want to apply a sprite to.

 

package net.minecraft.entity.projectile;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityChicken;
import net.minecraft.util.DamageSource;
import net.minecraft.util.MovingObjectPosition;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class EntityEgg extends EntityThrowable
{
    public EntityEgg(World par1World)
    {
        super(par1World);
    }

    public EntityEgg(World par1World, EntityLivingBase par2EntityLivingBase)
    {
        super(par1World, par2EntityLivingBase);
    }

    public EntityEgg(World par1World, double par2, double par4, double par6)
    {
        super(par1World, par2, par4, par6);
    }

    /**
     * Called when this EntityThrowable hits a block or entity.
     */
    protected void onImpact(MovingObjectPosition par1MovingObjectPosition)
    {
        if (par1MovingObjectPosition.entityHit != null)
        {
            par1MovingObjectPosition.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, this.getThrower()), 0.0F);
        }

        if (!this.worldObj.isRemote && this.rand.nextInt( == 0)
        {
            byte b0 = 1;

            if (this.rand.nextInt(32) == 0)
            {
                b0 = 4;
            }

            for (int i = 0; i < b0; ++i)
            {
                EntityChicken entitychicken = new EntityChicken(this.worldObj);
                entitychicken.setGrowingAge(-24000);
                entitychicken.setLocationAndAngles(this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, this.rotationYaw, 0.0F);
                this.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(entitychicken);
            }
        }

        for (int j = 0; j < 8; ++j)
        {
            this.worldObj.spawnParticle("snowballpoof", this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);
        }

        if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {
            this.setDead();
        }
    }
}

I don't know how much of this you have already done.

 

But, if you are making a custom egg or something similar, you probably should make a custom render for it (just Google it).

 

After you make a custom render for it, which should be pretty easy as you can pretty much copy the RenderSnowball class if you want to, you can find a method (or create it if there isn't one) called: func_110775_a

 

Edit the return line to a

new ResourceLocation("path to image");

 

for me the whole method looks like

@Override
protected ResourceLocation func_110775_a(Entity entity) {
	return new ResourceLocation("endless:textures/entitys/bolt.png");
}

 

I hope this helps a little bit.

 

If you can't find anything on making a custom render, just pm and I can show you how to make one.

Just wanted to add that eggs colors are made programaticly, aka. Not as texture/icons

You just pass in the two colors you want it to be and it's done, no custom texture used.

 

Thats how the vanilla one works if my memory serves me right
