Detect when player right clicks entity [Solved]

[Spaceboy Ross]

I'm trying to have a function run when a player right clicks an entity and then to have the player ride it but I need the player to be positioned at a specific spot so they could see but their model isn't visible. I'm trying to do this in 1.12.

Is this your own custom entity?

Yes.

Yes.

Override Entity#processInteract for right clicking

 

Override Entity#updatePassenger for proper positioning.

Got it, thanks.

Is it possible if it's not?

Yes, it is. I found out how to do it. (for Forge 1.20.1)

Add this to main class constructor:

// ...
   MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.<PlayerInteractEvent.EntityInteract>addListener(e -> {
      Player playerWhoUsed = e.getEntity();
      ItemStack usedItemStack = e.getItemStack();
      Entity entityThatWasClicked = e.getTarget();
      if (usedItemStack.getItem() instanceof YourItem item) {
         // your code...
        e.setCancelled(true); // you can remove this if you want to continue interaction
      }
      
   }
// ...
