[1.12.1]How would one spawn a custom mob with custom armor and a custom weapon?

[Plgue]

Title says it all

Use Entity#setItemStackToSlot to set the item in an entity's equipment slot.

 

If the mob should always spawn with this equipment or always has a chance to spawn with it, override EntityLiving#setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty to set the equipment and then override EntityLiving#onInitialSpawn to call it.

 

If the equipment is specific to the way it's being spawned, set the equipment manually before spawning it.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention that EntityLiving#setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty needs to be called from EntityLiving#onInitialSpawn.

I'm doing this, but I don't know what to put in new ItemStack(), when it comes to my custom items

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onJacketSpawn(EntityJoinWorldEvent event)
    {
        if (!(event.getEntity() instanceof EntityMasterJacket)) 
        {
            return;
        }      
        
        EntityMasterJacket mj = (EntityMasterJacket) event.getEntity();
        
        mj.setItemStackToSlot(EntityEquipmentSlot.MAINHAND, new ItemStack());
        
    }

Seems to be that the code stops here: 

 

 if (!(event.getEntity() instanceof EntityMasterJacket)) 
        {
            return;
        }

You probably need to do it in the entity's class. Choonster's Entity#setItemStackToSlot method is probably the best way to go.

What method would I put it in?

Why are you using EntityJoinWorldEvent for your own entity?

 

Look at the constructors of the ItemStack class to what parameters they require. You should have your Item and Block instances stored in static fields of a class (usually called something like ModItems/ModBlocks), you can get the instances from these fields to pass to the ItemStack constructor.

 

Do you actually know Java? You need to have a solid understanding of both Java and OO programming in general to a make a mod. This forum isn't for helping people with basic Java issues.

Do you ever spawn an EntityMasterJacket?

I explained that in my first reply.

 

I've also just edited it to include a detail that I forgot (EntityLiving#setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty needs to be called from EntityLiving#onInitialSpawn).

I'm sorry about not knowing too much about Minecraft coding, I know basic Java though.

Plgue I personally just looking into the zombie class to see how vanilla minecraft does it

This whole time the armor and items have been equipped, It's just not rendering for some reason
