[1.19.2]please a working example of Level.getNearbyEntities() to match the closest LivingEntity thing around the player

Posted January 17, 20232 yr

good nights

the thing i currently in is to make the player to rotate and look to some ghost entity under certain non defined yet conditions

the code is still wip soo for now im just looking to find the nearest living entity and rotate to look diretly towars the target getEyePosition()

i alredy have the maths

but have troubles to scan the area and find the nearest entity from LivingEntity mi findSourroundingEntitys() looks like just picking ramdon entities sometimes the close sometimes the farest or none at all

minecraft has alredy a method for that but its asking for an object i dont get how to setup thas why i begin to make my own

level.getNearbyEntities(Class<T>, TargetConditions, pe, aabb_box);

i need a working example of getNearbyEntities soo i can use it as template for mi code

Spoiler

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
