[1.14.4] Check Damage Source

[77inthebag]

I'm trying to check if a mob's death is caused by a player. What is the proper way to do this? I'm planning on using the LivingDeathEvent, but I don't know where to go from there.

Check if LivingDeathEvent::getSource().getTrueSource() instanceof EntityPlayer. First make sure it's not null, otherwise you'd get Java NullPointerException.

That's not true it's built in to the instanceof check. And getSource() will never return null.

You can also check if getSource() instanceof DamageSource

 

you can create your own damage source pretty easily.

 

Also its PlayerEntity
