Spawning entities with forge 1.18.2

[Duck478]

I want to spawn a wither for one of my mods but I don't know how.

 

@SubscribeEvent

public void WitherMake(BreakEvent event) {

   if(!event.getPlayer().level.isClientSide) {

   WitherBoss wither = new WitherBoss(null, event.getPlayer().level);

   event.getPlayer().level.gameEvent(wither, GameEvent.ENTITY_PLACE, event.getPos());

   }

}

 

This is what im trying now but it dose not work. How would I spawn a wither i this placeholder method?

I looked at the spawn egg code but it is really confusing

[Duck478]

if(!event.getPlayer().level.isClientSide) {

   WitherBoss wither = new WitherBoss(null, event.getPlayer().level);

   event.getPlayer().level.addFreshEntity(wither);

}

 

I tried this too and it also doesn't work

maybe it does? or it doesn't? why did you expect to see result without specifying the location of the new entity?

addFreshEntity should work. alternatively, entityType.spawn() will work too.

I don't know how to do that, how do I specify the location?

Can you give me an example of code to create any entity in minecraft and I can follow that

entityType.spawn() has a BlockPos parameter. you can't miss it.

if you want to go with addFreshEntity, set the location (x,y,z) of the entity (there are set methods for it, i think i was setPosRaw). then, after that, call addFreshEntity.

The entity constructor wants something other than null passed in.
