I followed one of Harry talk's videos to create my own entity, and i have the entity itself setup and ready to go, but I'm not sure how to register it within the game as the forge/gradle file 'EntityRegistry' doesn't appear within my files, and despite several attempts to update, refresh the dependencies, and move the files manually I have had no success. I'm assuming that I have to find a new way to register the entities, whether in the entity's class itself or by using a different line of code, but i'm at a loss as to how to go about that as i'm rather new to the modding scene.

I would use different tutorials, but there aren't very many others out there, at least i haven't really been able to find any

 

(edit) I feel dumb, i meant I need to register a mob entity, not a block entity, are they different or would they register the same way?

The are different. But they do both use the Registry events.

That's what I figured, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you guys so much for all the help!

Here are a few sources that I find useful:

 

Forge Documentation: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Jabelar's Tutorials: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/
GreyMinecraftCoder's Tutorials: https://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com/
ShadowFacts' Tutorials: http://shadowfacts.net/tutorials/
TheGreyGhost's Example Mod: https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample

 

Some of them are for earlier versions, so keep an eye out for that, but they still contain some useful information nonetheless.

 

There are also more sites recommended on the Jabelar's Tutorials page. I haven't looked at them all personally, but a couple that I did check seemed promising.

• McJty
• SupperGerrie2
• EMX
• Dark
• TheGreyGhost
• CoolAlias
• TheXFactor117

I've made some decent headway, but i'm at a loss as to how i set the entity's spawn egg

RegMob(Class<? extends EntityLiving> EntityClass, String entityNameIn, int solidColorIn, int spotColorIn, int prob, int min, int max, Biome... biomes) 

 

you should probably post your code if you want help.

This is what i've got for my entitylist class. I'm having trouble with 'public static final EntityType jeff = new EntityType(Jeff.class, reference.MOD_ID + "jeff");' it gives the error of: 'The constructor EntityType(Class<Jeff>, String) is undefined' I also, like i said don't know how to add the spawn egg for my entity. the code I went off of used 'setEgg' to set the spawn egg, but I think it's out of date because auto complete didn't make it show up

public class EntityList 
{
	
	public static final EntityType jeff = new EntityType(Jeff.class, reference.MOD_ID + "jeff");
	public static final EntityType[] ENTITIES = new EntityType[] { jeff };
	static
	{
		jeff.setRegistryName(reference.MOD_ID, "jeff");
		
	}
	
}

Are you using MC 1.14.4? Take a look at these two posts:

Can you verify what version you are programming for.  It looks like 1.14. All I have done is in 1.12. I'm guessing though things havent changed to the point that that's not the only code you have. You should have a main class, a entity register class, an entity class, a render class, a model class.  You should post all other then model.

ah, apologies, i'm modding for 1.14 also I'm working on the registry right now, i have yet to work on the render class or plug my mob into the main class
