[1.6.4] How to make a throwable item

[Millennium3]

Ok, I have been modding and made a short blade, which I would like for people to be able to throw. I got it working, but it won't show it being thrown(In the air) Help?

You're going have to render it.

And how might I do that?

There is a reference, called arrow. look how it has been made, copy it, edit it. done.

 

I think no one on this forum will write the code for you, thats your job.

 

And if u want help with your code THEN YOU HAVE TO SHOW IT. srsly is that so hard to understand??

See my Rendering a 3D item after thrown thread. We figured this out for 1.5. You can probably adapt the code i posted to 1.6.4

Alright, thanks for the help guys. I am copying the code for the arrow, but how might I get to the reference called "arrow"? Would you recommend a tutorial?

I posted a working renderer in my rendering a 3D item thread

Here is a tutorial about making a custom projectile. The easiest way is to extend EntityThrowable, since EntityArrow has lots of hard-coded features that won't work for you if you just try to copy them.

 

As for rendering, the simplest yet again is to just register your entity to a new RenderSnowball(yourItem). That will render your item as a thrown object without having to do anything fancy; otherwise you will need to look at a variety of render codes / learn about openGL and figure out how you want your knife to render in the air.
