Hello, I have a little API mod (Or a library, core or how you want to call it) that has methods used to spawn items/mobs/etc but I have problems setting attributes/NBT to an entity.

This is how I spawn an entity without armor

public static void SpawnEntityNoArmor(World worldIn, int x, int y, int z, Class<? extends Entity> entity,
			int amount, Boolean hasCustomName, @Nullable String name, Boolean hasMessage, @Nullable EntityPlayer player,
			@Nullable String message, Boolean hasCustomHealth, @Nullable Integer health) {
		for (int b = 0; b < amount; b++) {
			Entity en = EntityList.newEntity(entity, worldIn);
			en.setPositionAndUpdate(x, y, z);
			if (hasCustomName) {
				en.setCustomNameTag(Messages.color(name));
			}
			if (hasCustomHealth) {
			}
			worldIn.spawnEntity(en);
		}
		if (hasMessage) {
			Messages.sendMessage(player, message);
		}
	}

I use

Entity en = EntityList.newEntity(entity, worldIn);

because is the only method I've found on the internet that let me spawn an entity using EntityName.class

I don't know how to add to this entity an attribute/NBT because en.getEntityAttribute doesn't exists

Calling the method with:

EntityHelper.SpawnEntityNoArmor(worldIn, x + new Random().nextInt(12) - 6, y,
						z + new Random().nextInt(12) - 6, EntitySheep.class, new Random().nextInt(8) + 1, true, "jeb_",
						true, player, "I'm a sheep");

If you want to know what "EntityHelper" class contain is just this method above (the first one) plus some other useless methods for this question

 

How can I set an entity Attribute using my entity spawn method or using a different method that let me dynamically choose an entity?

getEntityAttribute has nothing to do with NBT.

 

I need both, and both are my problem, that's why I said Attribute/NBT

I'll try it now

 

Do not create new Random instances all the time.

What can I do then?
