Dropping an Item for the Entity

[DanilaFE]

Alright, this is my second post on this topic but it's asking a different question. Using entity.setCurrentItemOrArmor or entity.dropItem client-side only, surprisingly, only affects the client. However, because the

Minecraft.getMinecraft().objectMouseOver.entityHit

is client-only. Therefore, to successfully get an entity at which the player is looking, you can only be in a "remote" world, but from there, firing the two of the above methods doesn't do much, since it's not the server entities that are "dropping" an item. How do I make it so that right-clicking an entity that the player is looking at (a vanilla entity), will make it "drop" an item?

Is the attacked entity a custom one or are you changing drops for a vanilla entity?

 

Anyway there are several server side methods and fields.  I think you should look at the attackEntityFrom method.

 

Alternatively you can handle the living  drops event, especially if you're changing vanilla drops.

Vanilla entity, being right-clicked, not attacked.

I would recomend you to check out the EntityVillager class.

It has the method if you right click on them a gui opens up.

Change it to spawn an item to the world or player and you are good to go.
