[1.19.2] Custom mobs use fishing rods

[trumpet2112]

Hi,

Does anyone know a way that I can let custom entities use a fishing rod. I've referenced the bow class and associated classes, however similar classes that involve a projectile don't require a player as a parameter, but just a living entity. Both the FishingRodItem and the FishingHook classes require a Player specifically as a parameter either to use the item, or in the constructor to create the projectile. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, you cannot have a custom entity use a fishing rod unless you remake part of the fishing rod. You can get away with not calling the `#use` method on the rod item, but you would need to spawn your own fishing hook entity and update the logic associated with it. It would probably be best to make this as part of a Goal or Behavior..

I do plan on making this as part of a goal. The problem is actually assigning the fishing hook entity to the custom entity, seeing as the constructor of the fishing hook calls for a player as well on creation... unless there is a workaround to this. I will probably make a custom rod/projectile instead, thanks for your help!
