Packet24MobSpawn / cast to byte

Recommended Posts

As discussed here, and also over at MCF, certain combinations of mods can result in a crash when a mob with a higher entity type ID is spawned.  I managed to work around this by removing the cast to byte on line 55 of Packet24MobSpawn.java, which made me feel very, very dirty.

this.type = (byte)EntityList.getEntityID(par1EntityLiving);

I googled a bit, but couldn't find any definite information on the potential impact of this, though I did find an MCF post from August saying that Forge supported higher entity IDs.  This made me wonder if the mod authors were using some older ModLoader-style spawning methods instead of the native Forge methods, or if I'm just misunderstanding and need to limit the number of mobs I put into my game.

 

Thanks for any insight!
