How do you create a Camera and render whatever it sees on a custom GUI?

public static final boolean isMultiplayer = !Minecraft.getMinecraft().isSingleplayer();

This will obviously not work.

Why? You can't just extend EntityPlayer and call it good. Why are you using EntityPlayer anyway? renderViewEntity can be anything that is an Entity.

Don't use KeyInputEvent, use a TickEvent of some kind.

 

Try a simpler setup. Can you replicate the issue if you just set the renderViewEntity to, say, a mob you punch? Without the rest of the code.

I did kind of have doubts for the isMultiplayer Boolean from the start since I heard from other forge threads before I started trying to make a mod that it's highly unreliable, so I didn't use it in any part of the mod (Fortunately I didn't have to use it after all)

I'd heard from another thread that while the renderer Minecraft uses can take any kind of living entity as the renderViewEntity, it would always cast the renderViewEntity to an EntityPlayer, and there was no instanceof Check at all. I thought this possibly could be the solution, but EntityOtherPlayerMP and EntityPlayer SP just crashed my game when I attempted to use it, and all the other types of EntityPlayer (I wonder why there are so many honestly) cannot be instantiated. I extended EntityPlayer eventually, but in the end got the same spazz camera result

It does work but I'll take that advice, thanks! (Maybe this could be the solution, who knows?)

Sure, I'll try that and get back with the result

This is plainly not true. It might have been at some time but I can tell you for certain that it isn't the case at most since 1.8.

I can only try testing it tomorrow, but I have a bad feeling that it only works if you properly spawn the entity, meaning actually add it to the world, and you can't just do Entity entity = new Entity(); and get away with it like that. I really hope that's not the case

Can you post your code as a GitHub repository?

I tried with a simple setup, didn't work, same result

 

Curiously however, putting this line in a method that's called every frame:
if(view.rotationYaw > 360) view.rotationYaw -= 360;

if(view.rotationYaw < 0) view.rotationYaw += 360;

Drastically reduces the mad spinning to a much gentler although still choppy camera snapping. But that's still not enough, it has to be completely still

I don't know how to use github but I could put it here. It's a very smallish mod with only 3 classes

Oh my god the solution was so f*cking simple... literally this code was all that was needed to stabilise the render Entity:

@SubscribeEvent
	public void onView(CameraSetup event) {
		if(event.getEntity() == view) {
			System.out.println("Util entity " + event.getEntity().getName() + " set as camera viewport");
			event.setPitch(90.0f);
			event.setYaw(180.0f);
		}
	}
//Stabilises the camera every frame 

I am happy and infuriated that the fix was so simple!! But again, thanks so much for the help, really appreciate it
