[1.14.4.] Custom Skeleton not holding bow

[erce312]

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.

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.

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.
