Hey everyone,

been trying for a while to look for a solution to this problem:

 

So i am looking for certain mobs to spawn with

entitySpawned(EntityJoinWorldEvent event)

Then when i find the mob i'm looking for i want to do something like this to it:

//Obviously just a dumbed down example
	public void entitySpawned(EntityJoinWorldEvent event) {
		Entity entity = event.getEntity();
		if (true)
		{
			entity.onDead(someFunction()); //Runs when the entity dies.
		}
	}

What would be a ideal solution to this?

Capabilities. You create one, apply it to the entity when it is spawned, then in the EntityDeathEvent you check to see if that capability is there, and if so, do something.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Ah thanks, was hoping there was a cleaner way to do it but i guess not.

The Capabilities systems are supplied by Forge. They're an advancement on IEntityExtendedStorage (among other things)

Ah,

any chance you can send me some documentation or supply me with a code snippet?

Capabilities are a concept from Object Oriented Programming (like Objects and Interfaces). They allow for programming in the style “composition over inheritance”. Sorry for the badly worded answer, these articles explain it well.

    • Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
    • sorry, I might be stupid, but how do I open it? because the only options I have are too X out, copy it, which doesn't work and send crash report, which doesn't show it to me, also, sorry for taking so long.
    • Can you reproduce this with version 55.0.21? A whole lot of plant placement issues were just fixed in this PR.
    • Necro'ing that thread to ask if you found a solution ? I'm encountering the same crash on loading the world. I created the world in Creative to test my MP, went into survival to test combat, died, crashed on respawn and since then crash on loading the world. Deactivating Oculus isn't fixing it either, and I don't have Optifine (Twilight forest is incompatible)
