how abut this one?

private boolean getSheared() {
        return true;
    }
    
    public boolean setSheared(boolean sheared) {
        return sheared;
    }

This does nothing useful.

You're saying "this dragon is now sheared" and the function goes "Ok!" and the state of the dragon (whether or not it has been sheared) doesn't change.

There's a reason it's called a setter. It sets a field.

@Override 
    public boolean isShearable(ItemStack item, net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess world, BlockPos pos) {
        return (item != null && item.getItem() == ModTools.DiamondShears && !this.isChild());
         
    }

    @Override
    public java.util.List<ItemStack> onSheared(ItemStack item, net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess world, BlockPos pos, int fortune) {

        java.util.List<ItemStack> ret = new java.util.ArrayList<ItemStack>();
            ret.add(new ItemStack(this.getShearDropItem()));

        this.playSound(SoundEvents.ENTITY_SHEEP_SHEAR, 1.0F, 1.0F);
        return ret;
    }
}        

It works now but how do I make it like, shear once wait another time to shear agan not comtinously keep shearing it and shearing items.

I am literally telling you how to make it so in this entire thread but you are doing something else and asking why is it not working.

 

1. Create a field/DataManager param that stores the amount of ticks left before the mob can be sheared.

2. Check if this value lequals 0 in your isShearable method

3. Set it to the desired cooldown in onSheared method

4. Decrement it each tick.

And you are done.

A better solution would be to store the world time when the entity is sheared and then check how long has passed by calculating the difference to the current time. 

Sorry for necroing but the time I posted this I didn't really understand java and modding itself and didn't obey the advice to learn java before modding minecraft, I improved now. So can I ask the question, if world.getWorldTime to get the World time how do I get the current time.

I really don't understand that sentence, sorry.

World::getTotalWorldTime will always give you the current world age in ticks. getWorldTime will reset when people sleep or use /time. getTotalWorldTime will not, it always ticks up.

damn one of those misleading names again, these arent that misleading tho.

can you give me some examples tho?

What for?

the get world time, the one that you need to wait to do something via using getWorldTime etc.

Just now, diesieben07 said:

I really don't know what you need an example for. It's a simple method, you call it to get the current age (in ticks) of the world.

It's really my first time to encounter the WorldTime. But guess Ill try.
