Your render class returns a new instance of ModelBeelzebook, but your packet updates the model which you have stored in a field in the entity and which does nothing. Instead you should make the model render depending on the entity's awake status, and use the packet to update the entity itself.

So, like, have a getModel method in the entity class and then in render call said method and have the packet store the entity not the boolean?

If so, then how would I go about that writing the entity to bytes? And wouldn't the entity be a lot to write back and forth?

user action -> entity on server gets awake -> send packet -> packet handler sets the same value on the client entity -> renderer reads the data in the entity when rendering the model

So, is the entity class, by default run on the client or the server?

Quote

July 18, 20178 yr

It's run on both. But most behaviour is controlled from the server, so if the client needs to know something you have to send it.

Quote

July 18, 20178 yr

And specifically, the LivingHurtEvent only runs server-side.

Ok so since I had the server-sided LivingHurtEvent change a boolean, it only changed it on the server side, so I need to update the entire entity on the clientside through packets, right?

I never thought I'd get it. So...one last question. How do I set up a packet to handle an entity since it's not a basic field

You've already got a packet that handles an entity - it finds the correct one using its id. You just need to set the boolean in the entity itself, rather than setting in the entity's model field (which is unused and pointless anyway).

Quote

Alright it works! Kinda. When I trigger the event, it updates all the entities of the same type

Here is the updated packet

Spoiler


void proccessMessage(PacketReturnAwaken message, MessageContext ctx) {
			try {
				EntityBeelzebook eb = (EntityBeelzebook) Minecraft.getMinecraft().world.getEntityByID(message.entityid);
				eb.setEntityAwake(message.awake);
				Utils.getLogger().info("packet set: " + eb.getentityAwake());
			}catch(Exception e) {
				Utils.getLogger().catching(e);
			}
		}

Quote

July 18, 20178 yr

Is your model checking the entity's boolean field when it needs to know the awake status? Can you show where you do this?

Quote

July 19, 20178 yr

Author

Yeah here:

Spoiler


public void AwakeAnimation(EntityBeelzebook entity) {
		if(entity.getentityAwake()) {
			this.setRotation(Eye1, 33, 0, 0);
			this.setRotation(Eye2, 33, 0, 0);
			Utils.getLogger().info("animation!");
		}
	}//opens the book's eyes

I should also note that right now, in the render class, it is still marked as new ModelBeelzebook();

In your constructor the second pararmeter of the super needs to be a new Model.

~~Migrate the awake field to your entity class from your model then. Most likely your model is a singleton(and it should be) so a change to this field will change the model of all your entities.~~

EDIT: haven't noticed all other classes you've posted with those changes. Could you please post your entity class?

Don't create a new instance of your model in your entity class, models should be singletons. Models are also client-side only.

If your model class haven't changed since you've last posted it then the problem lies in the fact that you need to handle both cases on your AwakeAnimation method - if the entity is awake, and if they are not. Currently you are changing the rotation angles on the model if the entity is awake... which changes them for all entities as models are singletons.

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));
