I decided to create a new thread for this because its a different problem.

 

I am making a mob grinder that uses a fake player to do the killing and for the most part it works fine but but i am having problems when other mods try to do certain things to it (in this case the other mod is Infernal Mobs). At first i had a problem when an infernal mob tried to affect the fake player with a potion effect but i have since fixed that now i am having trouble when a mob tries sent a data packet to the fake player.

 

I have tracked the problem to playerNetServerHandler in my fake player is null which is giving a null pointer exception in FMLOutboundHandler.

Unfortunately finding the problem was the easy part i have been working on this for over a day and havent even come close to finding a solution yet. Im hoping someone more experienced can help me with this problem.

Last I checked you don't need a fakeplayer to make mobs drop their rare-drops.  There is (was) an int field you can set in the entity that denotes a timer since it was last hit by a player.  If this timer>0 when it dies, it drops rare/player only loot.  Simply set the timer to 1, and do whatever to kill the entity (I generally call entity.attackEntityFrom(genericSource, entityHealth).

 

 

Upon further investigation, the field is still there, in EntityLivingBase.

 

protected int recentlyHit;

 

Use reflection / AT to set this to a value >0.  Viola, the mob now drops 'rare' loot.
