[1.7.2]Do I have to register entities that are transitory and invisible?

I'm using an IThrowable entity to allow for a ranged effect.  Basically when I use an item it shoots out this entity and then does something when it hits a block.

 

I noticed that it works even if I don't register the throwable entity to the game registry.

 

I was wondering what harm, if any, it would do to not register it.  It seems to me that registration is mostly to aid keeping track of the entity -- it presumably allows saving/loading and also client-server sync.  But since I'm using this entity to almost instantaneously create an effect on the server side only, do I really need to register it?  I don't need to save it (i.e. quitting game while this was "in the air" doesn't really need to save), and I don't need it on client side (effect will occur on client based on effect invoked on server).

 

Should I just register it anyway?  I just like to make sure I fully understand things, and this prompted some thinking about the registry.

That is a very good question.

 

I dug into the entity register at one point for other reasons and the bulk of the code was to do with syncing it up with the client.  However, I am a bit suprised it works without registerying.  I wouldn't think it would update the entity for movement to occure.

 

I'm not curious too.  If it moved outside of a loaded are, i imagine it will just go poof.  Have you tested this away from spawn to see if it still does what you want?

 

 

Anyhow, i'm with your last statement.  I'd register it just in case.

      [1.20.1] Getting players skin texture by their UUID

      By Gianka1485 · Posted

      Just a few months ago I was creating my own plugin for Minecraft 1.20.2 spigot that did the same thing, but the skins were not saved, if you can understand this code that I made a long time ago it may help you.   //This is a class method private static String APIRequest(String value, String url, String toSearch) { try { URL api = new URL(url + value); HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) api.openConnection(); connection.setRequestMethod("GET"); int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode(); if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream())); StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder(); for (String responseChar; (responseChar = reader.readLine()) != null; ) response.append(responseChar); reader.close(); JSONObject responseObject = new JSONObject(response.toString()); if (!toSearch.equals("id")) return responseObject .getJSONArray("properties") .getJSONObject(0) .getString("value"); else return responseObject.getString("id"); } else { AntiGianka.ConsoleMessage(ChatColor.RED, String.format( "Could not get %s. Response code: %s", ((toSearch.equals("id")) ? "UUID" : "texture"), responseCode )); } } catch (MalformedURLException error) { AntiGianka.ConsoleMessage(ChatColor.RED, "An error occurred while trying to access the URL. Error: " + error); } catch (IOException error) { AntiGianka.ConsoleMessage(ChatColor.RED, "An error occurred while attempting to connect to the URL. Error: " + error); } return ""; } //other class method private void SkinGetter() { String uuid; String textureCoded; if ((uuid = APIRequest(args[0], "https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/", "id")).isEmpty() || (textureCoded = APIRequest(uuid, "https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/", "value")).isEmpty() ) sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + String.format( "An error has occurred while trying to obtain the %s player skin, please check if the name %s is spelled correctly or try again later.", args[0], args[0] ) ); else SkinSetter(textureCoded); } //other more private void SkinSetter(String textureCoded) { JSONObject profile = new JSONObject(new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode(textureCoded))); try { URL textureUrl = new URL(profile.getJSONObject("textures"). getJSONObject("SKIN"). getString("url")); if (sender instanceof Player && args.length == 1) { PlayerTextures playerTextures = ((Player) sender).getPlayerProfile().getTextures(); playerTextures.setSkin(textureUrl); ((Player) sender).getPlayerProfile().setTextures(playerTextures); if (((Player) sender).getPlayerProfile().getTextures().getSkin() != null) sender.sendMessage(((Player) sender).getPlayerProfile().getTextures().getSkin().toString()); else sender.sendMessage("Null"); sender.sendMessage("Skin changed successfully.a"); } else { } AntiGianka.ConsoleMessage(ChatColor.GREEN, "Skin command executed successfully."); } catch (MalformedURLException error) { sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + String.format( "An error has occurred while trying to obtain the %s player skin, please check if the name %s is spelled correctly or try again later.", args[0], args[0] ) ); AntiGianka.ConsoleMessage(ChatColor.RED, "An error occurred while trying to access the URL.

      So does it work without this mod? Did you test it with other builds?
