How to make an event in the world where you can respawn your entity

[TheRPGAdventurer]

 So I added a dragon essence item, when the dragon dies, it drops it with the owner nbt UUID and the dragon UUID stored using that, we can throw the item on 5 X 5 square area with the required block to respawn the dragon (just like you need to detect iron blocks and a pumpkin to make iron golems), with that you could "respawn" your dragon.

 

PS: how do I make my dragon essence item immune to fire and make it last forever

What’s your question - what kind of event. FluxNetworks does this with Redstone, I think they made a custom EntityItem for it (and replaced the normal entity in the onEntityJoinWorldEvent)

Something Like this but I have to place the Item

What kind of event? A Forge event that other mods can receive in their event subscribers? Or a generic type of “event” i.e. something that happens.

a generic type of “event” i.e. something that happens. when you use the dragon essence and that "something that happens " is when respawning your dragon, I really need some methods for checking the blocks around it and where to call it, also where do I call it, I cant vaguely call it on the entity's class, so its gotta be something in the world

I think you could make your own entity item and do stuff in its onUpdate method
