[SOLVED]Mob spawns with spawn egg, but doesn't spawn naturally[SOLUTION INSIDE]

Hey,

My mob spawns with the help of a spawn egg. But it doesn't spawn naturally. Here is my code:-

Tutorial.java (Main file)

package tutorial;

    	do {

    	}
    	while(EntityList.getStringFromID(startEntityId) != null);
    	return startEntityId++;
    }
    
    public static void registerEntityEgg(Class<? extends Entity> entity, int primaryColor, int secondaryColor){
    	int id = getUniqueEntityId();
    	EntityList.IDtoClassMapping.put(id, entity);
    	EntityList.entityEggs.put(id, new EntityEggInfo(id, primaryColor, secondaryColor));
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
    	EntityRegistry.registerGlobalEntityID(EntityUncleTomo.class, "Uncle Tomo", 1);
    	EntityRegistry.addSpawn(EntityUncleTomo.class, 100, 100, 200, EnumCreatureType.ambient);
    	EntityRegistry.findGlobalUniqueEntityId();

Do you mean - they don't spawn randomly?

Have a look in WorldServer.spawnRandomCreature -

    public SpawnListEntry spawnRandomCreature(EnumCreatureType par1EnumCreatureType, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        List list = this.getChunkProvider().getPossibleCreatures(par1EnumCreatureType, par2, par3, par4);
        list = ForgeEventFactory.getPotentialSpawns(this, par1EnumCreatureType, par2, par3, par4, list);
        return list != null && !list.isEmpty() ? (SpawnListEntry)WeightedRandom.getRandomItem(this.rand, list) : null;
    }

It does a call to ForgeEventFactory.getPotentialSpawns (WorldEvent.PotentialSpawns) which I think will let you add your own creatures to the list of creatures provided by the vanilla code.

I don't quite understand what you mean by 'spawn randomly.' Let me give you an example.

The Zombie:-

It can spawn in two ways.

1. Right click any block with a Zombie Spawn egg and it will spawn.

2. It spawns naturally on a difficulty of Easy or above.

Similarly, my mob:-

Uncle Tomo:-

It should spawn in two ways:-

1. Right click any block with an Uncle Tomo spawn egg and it will spawn. (This method works)

2. It spawns naturally on a difficulty of Easy or above. (This isn't working! It is not spawning naturally!)

Keen, that's what I thought you meant.

You can get them to spawn naturally using the Forge event WorldEvent.PotentialSpawns

Have you used Forge events before?

I've never used events before. I was reading the article you gave me, but I can't understand much. :(

yeah it's a bit cryptic. Let's see if I can't adapt a bit of code I've used before...

public class MyEventHandler {

  @ForgeSubscribe
  public void addMyCreature(WorldEvent.PotentialSpawns event) {
    World world = event.world;
    int xposition = event.x;
    int yposition = event.y;
    int zposition = event.z;
    EnumCreatureType creatureType = event.type;
    List<SpawnListEntry> listOfSpawnableCreatures = event.list;

    final int SPAWNWEIGHT = 5;  // the higher the number, the more likely this creature will spawn
    final int MINIMUMNUMBERTOSPAWN = 1;
    final int MAXIMUMNUMBERTOSPAWN = 4;

    switch (creatureType) {
      case monster: {
        SpawnListEntry myNewCreatureSpawn = new SpawnListEntry(MyCreature.class, SPAWNWEIGHT, MINIMUMNUMBERTOSPAWN, MAXIMUMNUMBERTOSPAWN);
        listOfSpawnableCreatures.add(myNewCreatureSpawn);
        break;
      }
      case creature:
      case waterCreature:
      case ambient:
      default:  
    }
  }
}

In my mod's base class

  @EventHandler
  public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
    MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new MyEventHandler());
  }

I haven't actually run that code, but it should be pretty close to what you need.

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?
Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.
Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?
Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

That fixed it! it's still being weird and not actually printing anything to CMD but the logs look fine and eventually the gui generated looking normal. Thanks for your help I've done that on linux before but windows servers have always just worked with one click for some reason for me

Make sure you are using Java 17 JDK

In the start script, replace the word "java" with the java 17 path (javaw.exe) and put it into quotation marks
