[1.11.2] Crafting NBT

[OIWeirdo]

So I was bored and decided to make a mod that would allow me to craft spawn eggs. The only issue I have is that I have no clue how to edit the NBT of the output so it sets the egg to spawn a specified mob.

 

GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(new ItemStack(Items.SPAWN_EGG, 1, 93), new Object[] { "FEF", "EIE", "FEF", 'E', Items.EGG, 'F', Items.EMERALD, 'I', Items.FEATHER });

 

The recipe is registered and works but I end up with a blank spawn egg. (The above is supposed to allow me to craft a chicken egg)

To apply the entity ID to the stack use ItemMonterPlacer::applyEntityIdToItemStack.

 

This method is marked as client-only in 1.11.2, so you can't call it directly. Instead, you need to create your own method that does the same thing.

 

It's no longer client-only in 1.12 (because Forge patches Item#getSubItems and the methods used by it to be available on both sides), so you can use it directly.
