[1.6.4] Entity Item Frame Registration

[Armeleon]

Hello! I have a small issue with registering a new Item Frame. I want to make it so that breaking an item frame doesn't drop any items. I figured the easiest way to do this was to copy the EntityItemFrame class into my mod, change the name and extend it from the original EntityItemFrame class. That way, I could change the ItemDropChance variable to 0.  It works great, but it doesn't register properly with the world, and when I quit and come back in, my customized frames are gone.

 

I've posted my new class, CheatingItemFrame, here.  Can anyone help?

Hi

 

Perhaps you haven't registered the Entity properly (eg using EntityRegistry.registerModEntity)?

That would be it. How would I register an entity?

[Draco18s]

Example:

 

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(EntityClayGolem.class, "EntClayGolem", 0, this, 350, 5, false);

[Armeleon]

That works! Thank you. But now it seems like I've got to give it its own texture and everything. I've never done an entity before, can you point me in the right direction? I don't need anything fancy. Like I said in my first post, I want it to look and act exactly like an item frame, just without the ability to drop items.

[Draco18s]

You're kind of on your own there.

 

Every entity is rendered differently and those renderers tend to control the texture.

Hi

 

If you're just doing an exact copy of the EntityItemFrame, you could copy/adapt the rendering code in RenderItemFrame, you would need to register your own renderer for your CheatingItemFrame.

 

Come to think of it, since you've derived your CheatingItemFrame from EntityItemFrame, you can probably just bind RenderItemFrame to it.  Worth a shot.

 

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(CheatingItemFrame.class, new RenderItemFrame());
