Help with Creating entities

[Asherslab]

Hi, kinda new to making mods, i'm trying to do two things

1. Make a skeleton like mob that DOESN't burn in the sun, but i still want it to shoot and have the rest of the AI of an EntitySkeleton (I.e. its "extending EntitySkeleton")

 

2. Make a different mob spawn with a sword in their hand. 

 

i've got them spawning and rendered and everything, i just can't figure out these two things listed above. if you need the code i'd be more than willing to post it. 

 

Thanks!

That's not quite true. If your mob doesn't burn, then its AI does not need to seek shade / water. Dump that task from the inherited AI.

 

Idea: Always put the equivalent of a magic helmet on your "skeleton" to trigger the get-out-of-jail-free exception to burning
