I have an idea that when the entity is dead, then that entity will explode. However, I use the  @SubscribeEvent to subscribe LivingDeathEvent  and  put in this explode method, the entity just dies and doesn't cause anything

ps. My explode method has animation so when the entity dies I could see the animation is started and the entity turns red, then it just disappears and become smoke.

I have a solution which is when the entity is dead, just heal it instantly and execute the explode method, but it doesn't work. Could anyone help?

fix it, using "tickdeath" instead of livingdeathevent
