Get hand drop chance

[fcelon]

Hi, how can I get drop chance of item held by an entity? I know it's stored in NBT, but I don't know, how to acces it. Thanks for your help.

You can call EntityLivingBase#hasCapability/EntityLivingBase#getCapability with the IItemHandler capability to get the hand and armor inventory. Look at EntityLivingBase#getCapability to look at the EnumFacing you have to pass in for each inventory.

 

-Edit: Damn, I totally misread that...

EntityLiving#inventoryHandsDropChances and EntityLiving#inventoryArmorDropChances store the drop chances for the entity's held items and armour respectively. These fields are both protected, so you'll need to use reflection to access them.

I just found my own way how to get the HandsDropChances from entity NBT, but thanks for help anyway.

You should really use the method Choonster suggested, as NBT should only be used for saving to disk, not getting data from an Entity.
