So, when I spawn my custom entity, I can't see it. That's about it. Here's my source code (along with texture files and such): http://github.com/33kingkiller/Final-Smash-Mod

I have changed EntitySmashRegistry.java to look like this:

 

 

package am.dx._33kingkiller_hub.entity;

 

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityList;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.EntityRegistry;

import am.dx._33kingkiller_hub.entity.passive.EntitySmashCube;

import am.dx._33kingkiller_hub.main.Smash;

 

public class EntitySmashRegistry {

 

//Referred to by Smash.java.

public static void EntityRegistry() {

RegisterEntity();

}

 

//Registers entities to eggs.

public static void RegisterEntity() {

CreateEntity(EntitySmashCube.class, "SmashCube", 0x4800FF, 0xFFB600);

}

//Creates/tracks entities.

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

public static void CreateEntity(@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") Class entityClass, String entityName, int solidColour, int spotColour) {

int entityID = 27;

 

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(entityClass, entityName, entityID, Smash.modInstance, 64, 1, true);

 

CreateEgg(entityID, solidColour, spotColour);

}

 

//Creates entity eggs.

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

public static void CreateEgg(int randomID, int solidColour, int spotColour) {

EntityList.entityEggs.put(Integer.valueOf(randomID), new EntityList.EntityEggInfo(randomID, solidColour, spotColour));

}

 

}

 

 

 

Now I get "[14:43:56] [server thread/WARN]: Skipping Entity with id SmashCube" in the console, and the in-game egg is just called "Spawn". The egg no longer does anything. Any idea why?

So how can I go about custom spawn eggs?

You cannot use the vanilla spawn eggs for your own entity.

 

You cannot use create egg anymore? Huh That sucks.

So how can I go about custom spawn eggs?

 

My best bet is that you have to make it yourself (which isn't that hard really)

I have changed EntitySmashRegistry.java to this now:

 

 

package am.dx._33kingkiller_hub.entity;

 

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityList;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.EntityRegistry;

import am.dx._33kingkiller_hub.entity.passive.EntitySmashCube;

import am.dx._33kingkiller_hub.main.Smash;

 

public class EntitySmashRegistry {

 

//Referred to by the Smash.java.

public static void EntityRegistry() {

RegisterEntity();

}

 

//Registers entities to eggs.

public static void RegisterEntity() {

CreateEntity(EntitySmashCube.class, "SmashCube", 0x4800FF, 0xFFB600, 27);

}

//Creates/tracks entities.

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

public static void CreateEntity(@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") Class entityClass, String entityName, int solidColour, int spotColour, int entityID) {

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(entityClass, entityName, entityID, Smash.modInstance, 64, 1, true);

 

CreateEgg(entityClass, entityName, entityID, solidColour, spotColour);

}

 

//Creates entity eggs.

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")

public static void CreateEgg(Class entityClass, String entityName, int entityID, int solidColour, int spotColour) {

EntityList.addMapping(entityClass, entityName, entityID, solidColour, spotColour);

}

 

}

 

 

I can spawn the entity again, but it is still invisible. I guess it's "back to square one," as they say.

Okay, I have found this: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/issues/1703. This seems to further explain what you mean by, "don't use global ids." I should be able to take it from here, but I will get back to you if I have any further issues.

Okay, so my problem had nothing to do with global IDs at all (although I won't be using them in the future). It turns out that I added an extra Entity variable to the "render" method in "ModelSmashCube.java." Thanks for your help, topic closed.
