Looking for example Entity code

Posted January 24, 201510 yr

Howdy folks

have any of you coded up a custom entity I could steal to use for an example code project?

Just the basic stuff like

- registering

- spawning (spawn frequency in biomes)

- simple AI

- simple datawatcher

- base attributes (health, damage, etc)

Never coded an entity myself and although it would be fun to learn it'd be a lot faster if I had a good base to start from....

The example project is for 1.8 but I figure 1.7 entities will probably work just the same.

Yeah, i will upload one in a sec. It a little bit special, so I am not sure if this is useful for you.

AND I coded this half a year ago, don't expect too much.

Could you maybe send me a link to your example project? I am planning to update my own mod today or tomorrow...

Here could be your advertisement!

I made a pretty generic render class - not perfect, but for probably 80-90% of the types of mobs people create, it will work.

Example usage:

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityDarknut.class, new RenderGenericLiving(
			new ModelDarknut(), 0.5F, 1.5F, ModInfo.ID + ":textures/entity/darknut_standard.png"));

Only thing missing is armor rendering - it renders held items and helmets, though all of that code will have to change drastically for 1.8.

I don't have any entity classes that are simple enough for your project, except maybe the NPCs.

Jabelar has some good tutorials on custom AI, animations, and probably some other stuff about entities that may help, especially since you have never coded an entity before.

TheGreyGhost, lord of coding...how could you? Just kidding; it's not too hard to learn how to code an entity. This tutorial should help you.
