GetEntitiesWithinAABB

[awngz]

Hi I want to get entities near the player. I have read the forums and decided the method to use was getEntitiesWithinAABB() in World class. However i'm not sure if I'm getting the world correctly, and unsure of what to put in the first paramater.

 

I did this so far : 

Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();

BlockPos playerPos = mc.player.getPosition();
int playerX = playerPos.getX();
int playerY = playerPos.getY();
int playerZ = playerPos.getZ();
			
			
AxisAlignedBB playerRange = new AxisAlignedBB(playerX - 10, playerY - 10, playerZ - 10, playerX + 10, playerY + 10, playerZ + 10);
			
List<Entity> list = mc.player.world.getEntitiesWithinAABB(mc.player, playerRange);

There is an error for the first parameter of getEntitiesWithinAABB()  because I am unsure what to put there. It is supposed to be type   Class <? extends T > , but I have no idea what that means. 

 

I am very new to modding so please correct my code

The first parameter is a Class. E.g. EntityLivingBase.class

Thanks I see now. also is there anything wrong with the way i am getting the world instance to call the method

using Minecraft will only work on client, you'll crash when you run a dedicated server... you should probably use world instance from the parameters of a method in case of Block/Item, Events.... and from the class in case of TileEntity... etc. Look at sides for more info

I meant when you override a method for your custom block/item... some of them have World as parameter
