Spawning EntityItem

[ZL123]

Hello! Do you know how to spawn an EntityItem? Basically, I have this Scepter, and I want so that when I right-click it on a diamond block the diamond block disappears and transforms into another Scepter. Sort of like how you make a Thaumonomicon in Thaumcraft.

 

Thanks a lot!

you just create a new entity and spawn it into the world, example: https://github.com/mnn/jaffas/blob/master/src/minecraft/monnef/core/PlayerHelper.java#L19. do NOT spawn it on the client side.

Thank you. Now how do I make it destroy the diamond block and how do I make the main class use PlayerHelper?

Thanks!

it's just my helper class, you'll be fine with this piece of code to make spawning working:

        Entity entity = new EntityItem(world, x, y, z, itemStackToSpawn);
        world.spawnEntityInWorld(entity);

 

to handle right click you'll override in the scepter method

onItemUse

. from its parameters you have all the info needed for spawning an item into the world (don't forget to NOT spawn item on a client side), detecting if it's a diamond block (world.getBlockID) and destroying that block (world.setBlock, block #0 is air ~ nothing).

Thank you so much! It worked.
