[1.14.4] Entity not created on the client side

[DavidM]

I am trying to create a custom ItemEntity class (FancyItemEntity) to gain more control over dropped items in world. One feature I would like to add is a custom renderer for my custom ItemEntity.

The entity is registered here. The renderer is here.

However, when I spawn my custom entity as demonstrated here, the entity created on the server is my custom ItemEntity, but the entity on the client side is still the vanilla ItemEntity.

Why is the entity created on the client still the vanilla ItemEntity? How would I fix this?

It seems that this problem was caused by invoking ItemEntity's constructor, which uses the hardcoded value of the vanilla ItemEntity type.

I've fixed this and updated the GitHub repo.

However, I am experiencing another problem after changing the constructor.

Whenever I try to spawn the entity, it will not spawn (at least on the client) and the console logs:

[Client thread/WARN] [minecraft/ClientPlayNetHandler]: Received passengers for unknown entity

How would I fix this?
