I've been trying to make a custom mob that extends SkeletonEntity. However when I spawn him he isn't wearing a bow. I would like him to carry a custom bow which I have already created. I am new to the @Overrirde so I am asking for help.

Look at how AbstractSkeletonEntity adds the bow.

I've tried to Override the setEquipmentBasedOnDifficult, but haven't got it to work this way. Thanks for the quick reply.

    @Override
     protected void setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty(DifficultyInstance difficulty) {
         super.setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty(difficulty);
         this.setItemStackToSlot(EquipmentSlotType.MAINHAND, new ItemStack(InformatikacraftItems.amethyst_bow));

Define "haven't gotten it to work".

The skeletons aren't holding the custom bow, nor using it when attacking.

package com.github.erce312.informatikacraft.entities;

import com.github.erce312.informatikacraft.init.InformatikacraftEntities;
import com.github.erce312.informatikacraft.init.InformatikacraftItems;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityType;
import net.minecraft.entity.monster.SkeletonEntity;
import net.minecraft.inventory.EquipmentSlotType;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.world.DifficultyInstance;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class Reaper extends SkeletonEntity
{

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public Reaper(EntityType<? extends SkeletonEntity> type, World wotldIn) 
    {
        super((EntityType<? extends SkeletonEntity>) InformatikacraftEntities.REAPER, wotldIn);
    }
    @Override
     protected void setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty(DifficultyInstance difficulty) {
         super.setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty(difficulty);
         this.setItemStackToSlot(EquipmentSlotType.MAINHAND, new ItemStack(InformatikacraftItems.amethyst_bow));
}
}

 

Yes the code is being called 

Reaper.setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty(DifficultyInstance) line: 24 

This is the stack from the debugger.   

Could you post your code ?

 

I've tried to extend AbstarctSkeletonEntity insted of SkeletonEntity and also to give him a vanilla item. But in both cases the entity isn't holding the item.

https://github.com/erec312/informatikacraft. Ok I have changed it. Thank you for your patience.

this.addLayer(new HeldItemLayer(this));

Add this into your renderer constructor.

On an unrelated note, you seem to be registering your entity World spawns at the entity registry event. I am not entirely sure if that's the correct place to register those. At least you do it after you register your entities, so I guess there is no problem. Anyway just saying, someone more knowledgeable than me can perhaps give you more information on that.
