[1.19.1] Summon entity on client only

[vladmany]

I need to spawn/render a local entity that won't be on the server. This is needed in order to create an invisible shulker in a block with a glowing effect.
Here's how I did it without mods:

But the point is to do this only on the client.

Entities are server side. If you want something client-side only it cannot be an entity.

Ok. Then how to highlight the block with a glowing effect, without a entities?

Doesn't that only get used to custom draw the "hitbox" of the block the player is looking at?

 

@diesieben07 Now I know why you didn't want people using the old gui overlay event, it's all changed in the latest version. 🙂

 

I would say you want to register for RenderGuiEvent.Pre to make sure you are drawing before the HUD gets displayed.

Then do something similar to the vanilla hitbox code in ScreenEffectRenderer.renderScreenEffect(), the renderTex() code.

Except instead of using getOverlayBlock(Player), you use your block's BlockState and BlockPos.

Nope sorry, I a think I am confusing two different things. The code to draw the hitbox is in LevelRenderer.renderHitOutline.
