I am very new to modding and was wondering if anyone could help me with creating a custom bow that shoots custom arrows. I have not been able to find any 1.10.2 tutorials for this and got myself stuck after trying everything on my own.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

I suggest looking at the vanilla bow's code, JSONs, and EntityArrow. Learn what happens in those classes, and replicate them.

I have been through all of those and the render arrow class as well, however when i have tried to copy them it just doesn't seem to work. I cannot get the animation for the bow to work nor can i see any of the custom arrows.

 

I assume you have done RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler (EntityClass, IRenderFactory)

Did you look though the bows JSON files?

Yeah i copied them directly, do you want to see my code?

Also i just noticed that the Rendering registery has been deprecated is their a new method for 1.10?

 

There are two the one that is deprecated and the one i said in my last post.

This is my code for all the items:

 

The Bow class:

package com.cameron.crossbowmod.items;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBow;

public class WoodCrossbow extends ItemBow
{
    public WoodCrossbow()
    {
        this.setMaxDamage(20);
        this.setUnlocalizedName("woodCrossbow");
	this.setRegistryName("WoodCrossbow");
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.COMBAT);
    }
}

 

The Item custom arrow class:

package com.cameron.crossbowmod.items;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntityArrow;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemArrow;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class WoodBolt extends ItemArrow {
public WoodBolt(){
	this.setUnlocalizedName("woodBolt");
	this.setRegistryName("WoodBolt");
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.COMBAT);
}

}

 

The custom entity

package com.cameron.crossbowmod.items;

import com.cameron.crossbowmod.ItemManager;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntityArrow;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.init.MobEffects;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;
import net.minecraft.potion.PotionEffect;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumParticleTypes;
import net.minecraft.util.datafix.DataFixer;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class EntityWoodBolt extends EntityArrow
{
    private int duration = 200;

    public EntityWoodBolt(World worldIn)
    {
        super(worldIn);
    }

    public EntityWoodBolt(World worldIn, EntityLivingBase shooter)
    {
        super(worldIn, shooter);
    }

    public EntityWoodBolt(World worldIn, double x, double y, double z)
    {
        super(worldIn, x, y, z);
    }

    /**
     * Called to update the entity's position/logic.
     */
    public void onUpdate()
    {
        super.onUpdate();
    }

    protected ItemStack getArrowStack()
    {
        return new ItemStack(ItemManager.woodBolt);
    }

    protected void arrowHit(EntityLivingBase living)
    {
        super.arrowHit(living);
    }

    public static void func_189659_b(DataFixer p_189659_0_)
    {
        EntityArrow.func_189657_a(p_189659_0_, "WoodBolt");
    }

    /**
     * (abstract) Protected helper method to read subclass entity data from NBT.
     */
    public void readEntityFromNBT(NBTTagCompound compound)
    {
        super.readEntityFromNBT(compound);

        if (compound.hasKey("Duration"))
        {
            this.duration = compound.getInteger("Duration");
        }
    }

    /**
     * (abstract) Protected helper method to write subclass entity data to NBT.
     */
    public void writeEntityToNBT(NBTTagCompound compound)
    {
        super.writeEntityToNBT(compound);
        compound.setInteger("Duration", this.duration);
    }
}

This is how i am using the rendering registry command, however i am definitely using it wrong.

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityWoodBolt.class, new RenderWoodBolt());
