Уровень.getEntities()

This is my code 

@Override
    public AbstractArrow customArrow(AbstractArrow arrow, Level pLevel) {
        arrow.setBaseDamage(arrow.getBaseDamage() + this.pDamage);
        Vec3 Vec3 = pLevel.getEntities();
        arrow.move(MoverType.PLAYER, Vec3);

        return super.customArrow(arrow);
    }

It throws this error - 'getEntities()' has protected access in 'net.minecraft.world.level.Level'

If you are posting compiler errors, you are in the wrong forum.

You want a "learning java" forum.

 

There are many level.getEntities() methods. It is an overloaded method name.

And there are other helper methods that are built on top of these basic methods.

Look at how vanilla code uses these methods.

e.g. Level.getNearestEntity() defined on the EntityGetter interface
