ModCrafting Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I'm starting with modding and I'm having a hard time spawning a lightning. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong here. I tried with a class extending from LightningBolt first, but can't spawn a vanilla one neither. public static void SpawnLightning(Level level) { level.addFreshEntity(EntityType.LIGHTNING_BOLT.create(level)); //level.addFreshEntity(Registry.UNSTABLE_LIGHTNING.get().create(level)); } Is this supposed to be done differently? Also, my console is getting spammed with [Render thread/ERROR] [minecraft/Util]: Entity lightningmobs:unstable_lightning has no attributes Dunno why or how to fix it. This is how I am registering this. public static final RegistryObject<EntityType<UnstableLightning>> UNSTABLE_LIGHTNING = ENTITIES.register( "unstable_lightning", (Supplier<? extends EntityType<UnstableLightning>>) () -> { EntityType.Builder<UnstableLightning> builder = EntityType.Builder.of(UnstableLightning::new, MobCategory.AMBIENT); EntityType<UnstableLightning> type = builder.build(new ResourceLocation(LMobs.MODID + ":unstable_lightning").toString()); return type; } ); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModCrafting Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 Btw, what should I be sending to EntityType.Builder#build(String pId), don't know what that ID is for.

warjort Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 You are not setting the position for the lightning bolt entity. It is probably spawning at 0,0,0 Look at ServerLevel.tickChunk() for how vanilla does it. I assume you are spawning it on the server? See https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Making_Entities for how to define the attributes for your entity and other things. The parameter passed to build() is used by DFU (datafixerupper) So it's pretty much irrelevant unless Mojang somehow know about your Entity and want to apply a fix to its persistent data. 🙂 1 Quote Boilerplate: If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one. If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com You should also read the support forum sticky post.

warjort Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Don't paraphrase errors. Show the full error message preferably by posting a link to the run/logs/debug.log Quote Boilerplate: If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.
