Correct way to spawn an entity with an item

[Kwibble]

Basically I am making a "custom spawn egg". While not a custom spawn egg, I want to have the same behaviour - spawn an entity on item use/right click. Everything I have tried has resulted in the Entity spawning, then falling into the ground...

 

Any ideas what the "right" way to do this is?

 

NOTE: I have already tried copy/pasting ItemMonsterPlacer (spawn egg) code and tweaking it slightly, but it doesn't work either.

Using the ItemMonsterPlacer code should be the way to go - do your custom entities fall into the ground moreso than vanilla entities? Have you registered your custom entities via EntityRegistry.registerModEntity? If all that fails, have you tried spawning them at posY + 1?

By fall into the ground - they never get above ground again.

 

The spawn egg spawns it fine, whereas mine doesn't. The only thing I changed with the code is make it so it always spawns the same entity. This seems to break it

 

As to adding y + 1 I don't think that fixes it. Will test that

 

 

Yeah.. Doesn't fix it. +5 doesn't do anything either.
