1.19.4 Entity Events cllient side

[Zacomat]

Is there a way to listen to entity events pakets that are sent from server to client?

I'm interested to know when an Animal "makes hearts"

from server: level.broadcastEntityEvent(this, (byte)18) in Animal.setInLove and Animal.spawnChildFromBreeding

to client: public void handleEntityEvent(byte b) in Animal class where heart particles are added

I want to listen to this entity event packet...

Maybe i have to register a listener to handle packets like this client side? 

Something like:

public class MyGameListener implements ClientGamePacketListener {

...


	@Override
	public void handleEntityEvent(ClientboundEntityEventPacket p_131393_) {
		System.err.println("handleEntityEvent ClientboundEntityEventPacket");
	}

}

There is no way to listen to those packets/events as far as I can see. Maybe you can submit a patch to MinecraftForge?

 

But it's also not the only place that spawns heart particles, see for example Animal.aiStep()

 

You could add a listener to LivingTickEvent and check Animal.isInLove() - but that data is only available on the server.

If you want it on the client you would need to send/broadcast your own packet.

Ok

I was trying to make a client side mod that shows how much time is needed for an animal to breed again...

But it seems not possible then.

Thx

No, that data is not updated to the client by vanilla.
