Separating the Hit Box?

[Jerm]

Hi everyone. So the mod I will be creating is "Improved Hitbox Mod". What I want to do is that I want to make 3 separate (ie head, body, leg) hit box of the character instead of 1 huge rectangle. When the player hit a specific hit box, it does specific thing (ie when the player hit the hit box on the head of the mod, it deals double damage). Can anyone give me some guidance on how can I modify the hit box using Java?

Look at Ender dragons. Start with making your own entity and get it working perfectly before trying to modify the player

Actually it sort of depends on whether you're making a new entity with separate hit boxes or whether you want to add these to existing entities. The ender dragon is an example for if you're making a new entity -- basically you divide the entity into multiple "child" entities that follow each other to look like they're all one mob.

 

However, if you want to add the hitboxes to an existing mob that is a single model the idea is similar but different. You would still create multiple "child" entities but you would make them invisible. You would then need them to realistically figure out where they are supposed to be based on the main entity's position. You would probably also handle the event for the main entity being hit and ignore that, instead only dealing damage for your improved hitboxes.

Much appreciated for the suggestions! I will try to work it out.
