Confused about a value at EntityRegistry.registerModEntity

[American2050]

So I have Created a new mob, kinda copying what a vanilla one does, the problem was that as soon as I was around 8 blocks away on the X or Z axis from the mob, it dissapear (don't render) anymore.

 

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(entityClass, entityName, ID, SinkMod.instance, 8, 1, true);

 

Is what I had, now I have:

 

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(entityClass, entityName, ID, SinkMod.instance, 64, 1, true);

 

I thought that number was how far the mob would react to me, like for example, if Im holding food for that mob, he was going to be able to see me from that far, but I guess I'm wrong.

 

Is it ok to have 64 for a mob there? Should it be a higher number?

[American2050]

It is the tracking range, meaning the range in which clients will be able to see the entity and get notified about changes (e.g. movement). Vanilla mobs use 64.

 

Got you

 

PS: Do you know what should I use in 1.10 instead of the old RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler That's the last think I need to fix I believe.

 

Thanks a lot

You use the new one instead, same method name, different parameters.

Couldn't find out how to use the one that requieres a IRenderFactory but found out another way to register the renders.

 

I wonder if this could work:

 

RenderManager renderManager = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderManager();
	renderManager.entityRenderMap.put(EntityCopperChicken.class, new RenderCopperChicken(renderManager, new ModelCMDChicken(), 0.3F));

 

I didn't understand the other method and couldn't find any example yet.

You need to make a class that implements IRenderFactory and if should look something like this

public class CustomModEntityRenderingHandler implements IRenderFactory<CustomModEntity> {

// Should return what you already have to render your Entity
@Override
public Render<? super CustomModENtity> createRenderFor(RenderManager manager) {
	return null;
}     

}

You can also do it as an anonymous class.

 

 RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(Entity.class, new IRenderFactory<CustomModEntity> {
@Override
public Render<? super CustomModENtity> createRenderFor(RenderManager manager) {
	return null;
}
});

You can also do it as an anonymous class.

Or a lambda. Or a method reference (which gives the cleanest code I think).

 

How does the method reference version look? I had a devil of a time constructing the anonymous class correctly (and then felt like an idiot afterwards).

[Draco18s]

Aaah, that's what that is. Alright.  I do agree that it's cleaner alright!

 

Didn't work for me cause I'm on Java 7 still, not 8, so it doesn't have that feature (ditto lambdas).
