LivingDeathEvent client side 1.15.2

[Nitoxym]

Hey!

I wanted to know if it is possible to detect client side when an entity dies. It works with LivingDeathEvent server side, but not client side. Thanks!

No. The client usually does not even know the health of an entity. It is simply told to play the death animation and then the entity is removed.

[Nitoxym]

Any way to detect that animation? Or the fact that the entity is removed?

Also, any way to know if this is player who killed it?

Not easily, there's no event being fired. The way it works is that the health of the entity is synced to the client using EntityDataManager and the client starts doing the death animation if the health is <= 0.

No events are fired for entities being removed from worlds.

Not on the client. There is no information sent to the client about damage sources. It is only told "this entity took X damage" and "the entity health is now Y".

Ok thanks, but how can I be sure that the player killed the entity? I saw this mod, and they managed to do it, but I can't figure how: https://github.com/symt/zealot-counter/tree/1.2.2/src/main/java/io/github/symt

What I know is that it only detects when the player one shot the mob

They check that the entity dying either was the entity you last attacked or the entity you are looking at.

Both is often true, but not reliable. If you are looking at an entity someone else could still kill it - their method would attribute that kill to the player, just because they are looking at the entity.

Did you even look at the code you linked to?

I want to detect when the entity is dying, then I'll manage to detect "if the entity is killed by the player"

EntityDataManager cannot help you here.

Then what do I use?

[diesieben07]

Again: this information is not available on the client.

What if you detect it to the server then make a custom info then send it to the client?

It's a client only mod

[diesieben07]

It is not possible in a reliable fashion then.

Can you please describe your mod even more friend? WE can't fix the puzzle without enough information/pieces? oes this mo ad death animations?

The mod is supposed to be a counter for a server, and only count mobs with specific names

But finally, I'll warn people to use it only if they can one shot the mob, so I only count attacks
