Event for checking entity collision with player?

[Jean704]

Hi!, I'm trying to get a valor  when modded living entity collides with the player. I'm trying:
 

if (this.position()==Player.position)

, but the Player.position has private access and i'm not sure if i can change it in someway.
 

If there's another way with collision boxes instead of positions it would be good too.

Sorry if this is not a big deal. I'm new and still learning on this.

Maybe you want?

this.closerThan(player, distance);

Where this is an entity and the distance is in blocks.

I think I took your question too literally?

What you really wanted is to find all players within a certain distance of your entity? You can do that with some code like this:

// This will only work on the logical server
public static List<ServerPlayer> findNearbyPlayersForEntity(Entity entity, double distance) {
    ServerLevel level = (ServerLevel) entity.level;
    return level.getPlayers(player -> entity.closerThan(player, distance) && !player.isSpectator());
}

Sorry if i didn't explain myself. I'm trying to detect a collision with the player in my entity.
