[Solved] [1.8.9] Custom Entity Help?

[TheGoldCrayon]

I recently started working on a new mod, and right now I'm stuck with trying to get an entity to register. I've watched and read some tutorials to try and help me through, but I haven't been able to fully figure out how to get my entity in game, especially with a lack of 1.8.9 tutorials on mobs. As I've said, I've used tutorials from different people, so I apologize if my coding looks jumbled up and mismatched. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Pretty sure EntityRegistry#registerModEntity still requires an instance of your mod, even in 1.8.9:

int entity_id = 0;
int tracking_range = 80; // used by most mobs and animals; most projectiles use 64
int update_frequency = 3; // used by most mobs and animals; most projectiles use 10, except arrows
EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(YourEntity.class, "registry_name", entity_id++, YourMod.instance, tracking_range, update_frequency, true, egg_color_1, egg_color_2);

Take a look at the vanilla EntityList class for the tracking range and update frequencies used for vanilla entities - that will help you decide what to use for each of your particular entities.

I do have that under my DaemonologyMod.java file.

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(EntityImp.class, "Imp", 1, 1, 80, 3, true, 0, 0);

 

Leaving my code the way it is, when I run the client, it crashes. I looked in the console and the only code that it mentioned form my mod was this exact line.

 

EDIT: I looked at the code again and then another video and saw that I was missing the instance. I hadn't seen it in use before so I didn't know that I needed it. Thank you very  much. I ran the client and my entity showed up. Except for the fact that it's now a white box. Do you have any idea what I did wrong this time?

You're passing the

Integer

1 as the

mod

argument of

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity

. This compiles because every reference type extends

Object

and every primitive type can be boxed to a reference type. This fails at runtime because 1 isn't a

String

mod ID or an instance of a mod class, it's just an integer.

 

When asking for help with a crash, always post the FML log or crash report.

 

In future, please use Gist or Pastebin to post logs/crash reports (if applicable) and code with syntax highlighting. To get syntax highlighting on Gist, give each file the appropriate extension (.java for Java code). To get syntax highlighting on Pastebin, select the language from the dropdown at the bottom of the page.

 

It's much easier to read code with proper formatting and syntax highlighting.

Okay, I will do that in the future. I ended up fixing that piece of code, and my entity registers in game now. But when I see it in game, it's just a white box. Do you have any idea what I did wrong to make this happen?

 

[Choonster]

It looks like you're never calling the

ClientProxy#preInit

method. Add a method with the same signature (name + arguments) to

CommonProxy

, add the

@Override

annotation to the

ClientProxy

method and then call this method from

DaemonologyMod#preInit

.

 

The overload of

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler

you're using is deprecated and will be removed at some point in the future. Use the overload with an

IRenderFactory

argument instead.

 

To implement

IRenderFactory

, either use an anonymous class (if you're targeting Java 6/7) or a constructor method reference (if you're targeting Java .

 

As the documentation of this method says, it should be called in the preInit phase.

 

Edit: The

smiley is really annoying when talking about Java 8 or Minecraft 1.8.

I did end up getting it. Now I'm just finishing up on the rotation angles as a couple body parts weren't rotated how I want them.
