I have an entity that uses world.isDaytime() to check whether it should despawn, however it does not seem to work since they despawn at night. 

From my entity class:

    public void onUpdate()
    {
        super.onUpdate();
        this.motionY *= 0.6000000238418579D;

        if(this.world.isDaytime())
        {
        	if(this.rand.nextInt(1000) == 0)
        	{
        		this.setDead();
        		System.out.println("despawn");
        	}
        }
    }

The console gets flooded with the test message "despawn" during night. Beds use the same boolean so it is clearly working...but not with this entity? 

 

SOLVED, solution by diesieben07:

it only works on the server side, added check for !this.world.isRemote

 I've an idea but for exact explanation I need the full code of the entity.

This is the only relevant piece of code in the entity class. Given that 

System.out.println("despawn");

is constantly being executed, it shows that the if statement isn't working correctly. I can see the mobs die as soon as I spawn them

I'm interessed in what it extends

isDaytime only works on the server. You need to check if you are on the server before despawning anyways.

Oops! That makes sense. Fixed it, thanks
