[Solved][1.8.9] How to craft villager spawn egg?

[OrangeVillager61]

How to craft villager spawn eggs? I using the entity id as the id type (like salmon) but this does not work.

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Items.spawn_egg, 1, 120), new Object[]
    		  {"BBB",
    		   "VAE",
    		   "BBB", Character.valueOf('B'), MoDropsItems.biomatter, Character.valueOf('A'), MoDropsItems.adaptive_biomatter, Character.valueOf('V'), MoDropsBlocks.villager_nose, Character.valueOf('E'), Items.emerald});

Sorry, for the late post (the forums were being moved). I'm on 1.8.9.

[OrangeVillager61]

So like this?

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Items.spawn_egg, "EntityVillager")

 

or

net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound nbt = new net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound();
      nbt.setString("EntityVillager", "120");
      GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Items.spawn_egg.setTagCompound(nbt))

 

I don't really know nbt...

[OrangeVillager61]

Yes, I looked at it.

 

Okay I got to this, but eclipse says that for "new ItemStack(Items.spawn_egg).setTagCompound(nbt))" it cannot convert from ItemStack to void.

 

 net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound nbt = new net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound();
      nbt.setString("EntityVillager", "120");
      ItemStack VillagerEgg = new ItemStack(Items.spawn_egg).setTagCompound(nbt));
      GameRegistry.addRecipe(VillagerEgg); new Object[]
    		  {"BBB",
    		   "VAE",
    		   "BBB", Character.valueOf('B'), MoDropsItems.biomatter, Character.valueOf('A'), MoDropsItems.adaptive_biomatter, Character.valueOf('V'), MoDropsBlocks.villager_nose, Character.valueOf('E'), Items.emerald}++;

nbt.string requires two strings.

 

So nbt.setString("120"); (120 is the villager's entity id) wouldn't work. What do I use as a second string?

[OrangeVillager61]

So nbt.setString("120", "120") is what you mean?

[TrashCaster]

That code makes no sense.

You need to set the key "entity_name". To the entity string ID.

And yes, setTagCompound returns void.

 

nbt.setString("entity_name","EntityVillager");

This works for me:

 

//Villager Egg
	GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack (Items.spawn_egg, 1, 120),
					new Object [] {
							"BBB",
							"BBB",
							"BBB",
							'B', Items.diamond,
			});

I don't think it's the best way for it and it might have a problem when using it outside your work space but hopefully will work.

[OrangeVillager61]

Yeah... with some work and wonkiness I can get (Items.spawn_egg, 1, 120) to work, but it is not really a good way. Anyhow, if .setTagCompound(nbt)) returns a void, is there alternative or I convert it?

Create the

ItemStack

, call

ItemStack#setTagCompound

then pass the

ItemStack

to

GameRegistry.addRecipe

.

The number-IDs will not work in 1.9.

You should update now.

 

Yes, I'm aware of this so I'm not using number IDs and why do I need to update to 1.9?

 

 

[OrangeVillager61]

My next issue is that the spawn egg is labeled entity.EntityVillager.name. What is the problem now?

 

 net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound nbt = new net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound();
      nbt.setString("entity_name", "EntityVillager");
      ItemStack VillagerEgg = new ItemStack(Items.spawn_egg);
      VillagerEgg.setTagCompound(nbt);
      GameRegistry.addRecipe((VillagerEgg), new Object[]

[OrangeVillager61]

Thank you! It works, it doesn't have the brown texture... but everything works!

[OrangeVillager61]

Yeah... I'll update soon. I'll live with it for now. I want to finish my 1.8.9 version before updating... Thanks diesieben07! Final question: why is forge for 1.9 better than 1.8.9 forge?
