[1.12.2] How to make non-living entity spawn in the world?

Hello,

I have made a Meteorite Entity and I would like it to spawn naturally in the overworld, how could I make that happen ?
The Method addSpawn does not work with my entity as it is not "living"/extending EntityLiving.


Thank you for your help!

    You would need to spawn it manually with World#spawnEntity.

    Probably have a server tick handler, check the spawn conditions at a random block + the amount of entities in the world + additional conditions, if everything is good spawn the entity.

    Or you could extend EntityLiving and just block all interactions/features you don't need by providing a NOOP implementation

    First of all thank you very much for your help!

    I thought about using a EventHandler to check for spawning conditions on the world tick, but I was concerned about the performance.

    Thank you
