get EntityPlayerMP client side [HELP PLEASE!]

[Heiden]

Hello!

well, the questions says it all, how to get the EntityPlayerMp on 1.8? Minecraft#thePlayer returns an EntityPlayerSP, I`ve tried everything but it doesn't seems to work.

Thanks (^·^)/ \(~.~)

You need to understand the fact that minecraft consists of two threads - client and server.

While on dedicated server, there is only server, when on client in singleplayer - there is client AND server running in background. When you connect  from client to external server - client has client thread and dedic handles server.

 

Following above - there is no "getEntityPlayerMP".

You either do something for one defined "thePlayer" which is YOUR OWN (client's) entity player, or you do something for EntityPlayers on server side - where you can't just pick (well, you can pick by names or uuids).

 

Other notes: All classes in package net.minecraft.client are for CLIENT usage only - you can't call them outside client proxy or mod will crash when ran on dedic - that includes Minecraft class itself.

 

As to actually getting players - what you want to do? There is PlayerTickEvent that runs for client and server for every player once per tick (twice - there are 2 phases to pick from).
