I've been trying to spawn a cow on item dropped. The potion effect works, but where the heck did the cow go?

    @Override
    public boolean onDroppedByPlayer(ItemStack item, EntityPlayer player) {
            player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.getPotionById(15), 100, 2));
            player.world.spawnEntity(new EntityCow(player.world));
        return super.onDroppedByPlayer(item, player);
    }

It's probably some dumb mistake but i can't find it .

Please help

You never set the cow's position, so it should have spawned at 0,0,0.

 

Set the Entity#posX/Y/Z fields to some coordinates based on the player's coordinates before spawning the cow in the world so the cow is spawned near the player.

I got that part but how, the new EntityCow doesn't have anymore fields.

This is basic Java knowledge that you should already have before making a mod.

 

Store the EntityCow instance in a local variable, set the fields and then pass it to World#spawnEntity.

Got it, worked now. Thanks for helping out!
