Variable Entity Type

Recommended Posts

Sorry for lousy title I don't know how to put it, but basically I want to spawn an extra mob whenever one would spawn. In the LivingSpawn event, I can make it work fine if I hardcode the entity type, however I don't know how to get it to work as a general solution. new CowEntity() is good, new event.getEntity()() is not good. This is probably really simple but I've been stuck for a few days so thanks for any help

Hi

 

I had a quick look at EntityType class and this looked interesting-

 

   public static Optional<EntityType<?>> readEntityType(CompoundNBT compound) {
      return Registry.ENTITY_TYPE.getValue(new ResourceLocation(compound.getString("id")));
   }

 

i.e. you can get the EntityType from a CompoundNBT, which you can copy from your event.getEntity(), and then spawn the entity as normal

 

Haven't tried it, but it looks promising.
