How to add a mana setting to the player character？

[crazygod2016]

Hello guys,how to add a mana setting to the player character？

 

Like this

Each casting spell will consume a certain amount of mana,and mana will slowly recover over time.

 

I have done the part of casting spells within onitemrightclick()，but where should i edit the mana setting？Should i put it in Entityplayer？

 

What should i do next？Is there any function to do that with Entityplayer？

Make object, attach it, store mana, edit it when needed.

 

Regeneration can be done with PlayerTickEvent (pick event.phase).

Rendering can be done with RenderGameOverlayEvent (pick sub event, most likely Post and event.type).

Something to make note of if you run in to render issues.

 

I had to remove my getType check for my bar to render properly. I tried with every ElementType and every single one of them made my bar render with the wrong colors.

 

So start out using it but if you have issues keep in mind that you may have a similar problem.

Since you didn't specify Minecraft version: adding mana via IEEP tutorial for 1.6.4 through 1.8.0  can be found here.

 

It helps people respond with more appropriate advice when you include the Minecraft version for which you are coding in your thread's title.
