I am in the process of updating my mod, and I've run into a bump. I have special sword that does more damage to Endermen and Enderdragons. Previously, I had used getDamageVsEntity, but now that that is deprecated, I don't know how to do it. I've been messing around with Attributes, but can't get Entity specific damage to work... Any ideas would be much appreciated...

 

Old Outdated Code:

 

 

@Override
public float getDamageVsEntity(Entity par1Entity, ItemStack itemstack)
{
if (par1Entity instanceof EntityEnderman || par1Entity instanceof EntityDragon)
{
	return 14;
}
else
{
	return 7;
}
}

 

 

I have done it this way (I'm not sure if this is an efficient way to do it but it works)

 

@Override
        public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack stack, EntityLivingBase ent, EntityLivingBase player)
        {
                float damage = 0.0f;
                
                if (ent instanceof EntityEnderman || ent instanceof EntityDragon)
                {
                        damage = 25.0f;
                        stack.damageItem(1, player);
                }
                
                DamageSource dmgSource = DamageSource.causePlayerDamage((EntityPlayer) player);
                ent.attackEntityFrom(dmgSource, damage);
                
                return true;
        }

Thank you, I'll go ahead and test it out. If anyone has a better way of doing it, please share.
