[1.19.2] Trying To Draw A Line Behind Player

[Suleiman700]

Hello.

I am trying to draw a line behind player when he moves.

The idea behind this mod is to help players when they go mining, It will help them follow the walk path using this mod.

The problem is that in 1.19.2 I cannot find the render event & player movement event (maybe these events are not need, I dunno) - I used to create mods for 1.12.2

Like when a player moves it will call a render method that draws line at player pos xyz.

 

Thanks in advance!

Use EntityRenderersEvent.AddLayers to add a new RenderLayer to the player's LivingEntityRenderer.

For players you need to add it to each "skin".

An alternative approach if you want a "persistant" path is to spawn a Particle at the player's location every few ticks from your own client side PlayerTickEvent

I am trying to do that but did not find any clue how!

 

I tried but the classes names & methods names are not found at all (World, Level, spawnParticle, addFreshEntity)

World.spawnParticle("reddust", par3EntityPlayer.posX, par3EntityPlayer.posY, par3EntityPlayer.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);
Level.spawnParticle("reddust", par3EntityPlayer.posX, par3EntityPlayer.posY, par3EntityPlayer.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);
Level.addFreshEntity("reddust", par3EntityPlayer.posX, par3EntityPlayer.posY, par3EntityPlayer.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);

 

+ Do you know how to get the correct classes names in 1.19.2 ?

They are not static methods. You get the level via

event.player.level

You also need to check the event.side.isClient() and event.phase (start or end)

You also don't cant addFreshEntity() for a particle, particles are not entities which need to be added on the server.
