I'm having an issue where my custom arrow appears stuck in the air a block from where it actually hit? So it looks like |  <--  instead of |<--. Any help in troubleshooting this?

Are you certain it's a problem with your render code and not your entity?

Hi

 

Does it "snap" to the correct location after (say) 20 seconds, and if you try to pick it up is it actually in the wall, not where it appears to be?

 

If so it might be something to do with this

Short fix: derive your arrow from EntityArrow

Extending EntityArrow directly works perfectly! Thanks TGG and coolAlias!
