1.16.5 Interaction of an Item in hand and a mob (like the bone and a wolf) [1.16.5-36.2.34-mdk]

[sebastiansan]

I'm trying to make an item that interacts with a tamed mob, primarily a wolf, by right clicking with the item in hand and crosshair pointing on the wolf (like the bone does with a untamed wolf). I've tried using the interact method and using interact events, but nothing works. I'm not sure of what I'm doing, but I've everything I could find on the internet for the past two months and have gotten nowhere. I would appreciate the help.

You would do good posting some code. I'm not expert, but I guess I would start by overriding the use() method of the item (or something equivalent, i really dont remember if use() was a thing on 1.16 anymore). Then youll there have to check if whatever it clicked is the entity you want (Wolf) and im pretty sure the wolf, as a tameable entity, has a getOwner() method or something similar

EDIT: Use() cant be used to get an entity it interacted with but something like interactLivingEntity() does and im pretty sure it did exist back in 1.16.5

As of now this is what I got: 

Code using the interactingLivingEntity method:

 

        public ActionResultType interactLivingEntity(ItemStack itmStack, PlayerEntity playerEntity, WolfEntity wolf, Hand hand) {
                
            itmStack = playerEntity.getItemInHand(hand);
            wolf = (WolfEntity) playerEntity.getEntity();
            if (wolf instanceof WolfEntity) {
                if (wolf.isTame() && wolf.getOwner() == playerEntity) {
                    wolf.getAttribute(Attributes.MAX_HEALTH).setBaseValue(wolf.getHealth() + 2);
                    if (!playerEntity.isCreative()) {
                        itmStack.shrink(1);
                        return super.interactLivingEntity(itmStack, playerEntity, wolf, hand);
                    }
                }
            }
            return super.interactLivingEntity(itmStack, playerEntity, wolf, hand);
            }
