Hello. I'm working on update for my mod from minecraft 1.12.2 to minecraft 1.19.2 and I got a problem with item usage on mobile.

In 1.12.2 I used "itemInteractionForEntity" method for it. It looks like in 1.19.2 it's called "interactLivingEntity".

Everything fine when I use it on my own mob, or some others like parrots, but for such mobs as cat and wolves it doesn't work.

I spent some time trying to investigate this problem and debug my code, and I found that item "interactLivingEntity" method doesn't trigger for those pets at all.

Could someone please help me with it? What am I doing wrong?

 

Here is a link on my item https://github.com/NightKosh/Sophisticated-wolves/blob/feature/1.19.2_update/src/main/java/sophisticated_wolves/item/ItemDogTag.java

That's because the interaction that happens on right click for tamed animals (like the wolf and cat) forces them to sit, which is a consumable action, preventing the stack logic from executing. Since the only hook to get around this is an event, you would need to subscribe to `PlayerInteractEvent$EntityInteract` and call the `#interactLivingEntity` method on your item stack there.

Follow the code through from Mob.interact() for a cat.

It will pretty much ignore you unless your item is food.

 

Unfortunately, there is no item tag for name tags.

Mob.checkAndHandleImportantInteractions() hardwires the vanilla name tag item instance for special handling instead of usiing an item tag.
