[1.14.4] Entity renderer seems to not be called nor registered

[sanman00]

I am trying to make an entity which works and renders in a similar fashion to a splash potion.

 

It is defined thus:

To render it, I am using the SpriteRenderer class like so:

@EventBusSubscriber(modid = Main.MOD_ID, value = {Dist.CLIENT}, bus = EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
public class ClientProxy {
    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void init(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
        RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityExplosivePotion.class, m -> new SpriteRenderer<>(m, Minecraft.getInstance().getItemRenderer()));
        //RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntitySpicyExplosivePotion.class, RenderSpicyExplosivePotion::new);
        getItemModelMesher().register(ModItems.EXPLOSIVE_POTION, new ModelResourceLocation("expotions:potion_explosive", "inventory"));
        getItemModelMesher().register(ModItems.THROWABLE_EXPLOSIVE_POTION, new ModelResourceLocation("expotions:potion_explosive_throwable", "inventory"));
        getItemModelMesher().register(ModItems.SPICY_EXPLOSIVE_POTION, new ModelResourceLocation("expotions:potion_explosive_spicy", "inventory"));
        getItemModelMesher().register(ModItems.SPICY_THROWABLE_EXPLOSIVE_POTION, new ModelResourceLocation("expotions:potion_explosive_throwable_spicy", "inventory"));
    }
    
    /**
     * Convenience function for getting the {@code ItemModelMesher}.
     * @return The {@code ItemModelMesher} from {@link RenderItem#getItemModelMesher()} via {@link Minecraft#getItemRenderer()}
     */
    public static ItemModelMesher getItemModelMesher() {
        return Minecraft.getInstance().getItemRenderer().getItemModelMesher();
    }
}

 

When the entity is spawned it is spawned like so:

EntityExplosivePotion potion = new EntityExplosivePotion(player, world);
potion.setStrength(getStrength(stack));
potion.setSpicy(spicy);
potion.shoot(player, player.rotationPitch, player.rotationYaw, -20.0F, 0.5F, 1.0F);
world.addEntity(potion);

The problem that I am having is that the entity is not rendering. It functions but no model appears when it is spawned and no output appears in the log either.

The event handler for FMLClientSetupEvent is called but the renderer still does not appear to be registered.

Going to guess that the entity in question doesn't extend LivingEntity, in which case see 

 or one of the other several threads I found by Googling "forge 1.14 entity renderer".

 

And yeah, ditch that itemModelMesher code like yesterday   It's utterly unnecessary.

@desht That thread had the solution, thanks very much!
