I have created a calamari Item in my mod and I would like it to drop when a squid dies. I have created an event handler class and I made a method with the SubscribeEvent annotation. I have also annotated the EventHandler class with EventBusSubscriber. The method does not trigger at all. I know this because I put some print statements to try and detect if this method was being called. It is not being called at all. This is my event handler code:

package com.kpzip.SushiMod.util.handlers;

import net.minecraft.entity.item.EntityItem;
import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntitySquid;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDeathEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventBusSubscriber;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.gameevent.TickEvent.PlayerTickEvent;

import com.kpzip.SushiMod.init.ModItems;
import com.kpzip.SushiMod.init.ModPotions;

@EventBusSubscriber
public class EventHandler {
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void onEntityDeath(LivingDeathEvent event) {
		if (event.getEntity() instanceof EntitySquid) {
			event.getEntity().world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(event.getEntity().world, event.getEntity().posX, event.getEntity().posY, event.getEntity().posZ, new ItemStack(ModItems.RAW_CALAMARI, 1)));
			
		}
		System.out.println(event.getEntity().world);
		System.out.println(event.getEntity().posX);
		System.out.println(event.getEntity().posY);
		System.out.println(event.getEntity().posZ);
	}

}

Have you registered the event handler (MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS#register)?

 

Alternative methods include passing the mod id in the @EventBusSubscriber).

Watch out for static or not though.

You need to register it in the event bus.

MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new EventHandler());

Thanks! I was confused because I didn't have to do that for my other event handler. It works now
