Stop updating when the entity moves away from the player.

[GLOUND]

Hi, I created a custom entity. The onUpdate method is continuously updating the location of the entity. However, when the entity moves away from the player to some extent, the entity does not move and the onUpdate method does not work. When the player approaches the entity again, it begins to move. Can someone help me?

This is normal. Beyond a certain point the server stops ticking entities to save resources.

See DistanceManager.isEntityTickingRange() and its uses.

Why does your Entity always need to be updated?

What did you try to achieve with this?

I'm making a missile that can fly far.

Why should the rocket be updated if the player can't see it?
