How to register a spawn-egg as item?

[Drachenbauer]

Hello can anyone tell me how to put my Costom entity-class into the first "null" here:

public static final Item RED_EGG = new ItemSpawnEgg(null, 14614528, 14663583, null);

the two numbers are the egg-colors.

Every thing i tryed to put in my entity, caused red underscores with errors.

The first parameter is the EntityType of the entity to spawn. As I've told you in your other thread construct it in this event using the builder, I've even shown you how to do so with an example line.

The last parameter is the parameters of the item(max stack size, it's ItemGroup, container item, etc). Look at how other items are registered in the Item class.

[Drachenbauer]

can you give me an example for that builder-line in a method?

 

i think, in this case, i can find a way to connect it with my entity-lines in my EnityInit-class

 

Anf for the paremeters, i have no other items there to look at

public static EntityType<EntityItem> storedItemType;
    
@SubscribeEvent
public static void onItemRegistry(RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event)
{
    // Here for example I am creating a type for the EntityItem, you would need your own entity here with your own parameters.
    storedItemType = EntityType.Builder.create(EntityItem.class, EntityItem::new).tracker(32, 1, true).build("v0idstestmod.test_entity");
    event.getRegistry().register(new ItemSpawnEgg(storedItemType, 0xffffff, 0x00ff00, new Item.Properties().group(ItemGroup.MISC)));
    // Your other registration code
    ...
}

do i need copies of the two inner lines for each of my entities?

[V0idWa1k3r]

Well, you can create a helper method but in general yes, you will need an EntityType for each entity.

Thet´s ( helper method ) what i need a sample for

 

Oh and i don´t know, what "sendvelocity" in your entity-register-line is for

Whether the server should send the velocity data to the client.

public static <T extends Entity>EntityType<T> registerEntityAndEgg(IForgeRegistry<Item> itemRegistry, Class<T> entityClass, Function<? super World, T> factory, int eggPrimaryColor, int eggSecondaryColor, int trackingRange, int updateFrequency, boolean sendVelocityUpdates, String name)
    {
        EntityType<T> type = EntityType.Builder.create(entityClass, factory).tracker(trackingRange, updateFrequency, sendVelocityUpdates).build(TestMod.MODID + '.' + name);
        itemRegistry.register(new ItemSpawnEgg(type, eggPrimaryColor, eggSecondaryColor, new Item.Properties().group(ItemGroup.MISC)).setRegistryName(name));
        return type;
    }

Or something along those lines, I am not writing code for you, this is just an example that you will need to adjust to your needs.

@SubscribeEvent
		public static void registerEntities(final RegistryEvent.Register<EntityType> event)
		{
			event.getRegistry().register(EntityType.Builder.create(EntityRed.class, EntityRed::new).tracker(32, 1, true).build("AngryBirdsMod.EntityRed"));
			LOGGER.info("Entities registered.");
		}

What must in the place, where i have EntityType in the top line, to get a working event to register entitys

EntityType is a valid registry entry, you don't need to change it to anything. Of course it has a generic parameter you must provide, this is basic java. Since this is a forge event a wildcard type will do.

[Drachenbauer]

do you mean empty braces behind it?

 

I don´t know, what exactly you mean with "provide parameter" what exactly must i add there

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generics_in_Java.

A type parameter is declared within the <>.

Say a List<T> is a generic class where T is the type parameter. When you create a new list you specify said type parameter, like new List<String>. Now String is the type parameter, meaning that List now only accepts strings.

If you want said List to accept anything you declare a wildcard as it's type parameter(new List<?>).

[Drachenbauer]

do you mean, i have to place a <?>  behind EntityType?

 

ok, now the red underscore is gone.

in the item registration, where i have the thing with the eggs, it says "EntityItem" and in the entity registration i have the names of my entitys there.

how do i connect my entitys with the eggs?
