I have a projectile that I shoot out of my head, but it covers almost the whole screen so I want it to be invisible for like half a second in first person mode.

How would I do this?

I'd suggest you make your own EntityRenderer for your projectile.  The renderer can check whether the player is in first person view, and if so, make sure that the entity is at least a given minimum distance away from the player's head before rendering it.

Third person view (0, 1, 2) is accessible from GameSettings and ActiveRenderInfo (minecraft->gameRenderer->activerenderinfo)

Thank you for replying.
This works perfectly, but I have another question.
How do I get the player that is rendering the entity, because I would like the render to be cancelled only for the shooter.

ok thank you

if( Minecraft.getInstance().gameSettings.thirdPersonView==0 && entityIn.ticksExisted<20 && Minecraft.getInstance().player == entityIn.shootingEntity ) {
	return;
}
	super.render(entityIn, entityYaw, partialTicks, matrixStackIn, bufferIn, packedLightIn);

This is now never true, but if I add .getEntity() to them the player and shootingEntity, it crashes, also, I tried using .getName but that also crashes the game.
The crash occurs whenever the entity is rendered

@Override
	public ActionResult<ItemStack> onItemRightClick(World world, PlayerEntity player, Hand hand) {
		if(player.isSneaking()) {
			Vec3d look = player.getLookVec();
			Vec3d pos = player.getPositionVec();
			AccurateSkull skull = new AccurateSkull(world, player, look.x*2, look.y*2, look.z*2);
			skull.setPosition(pos.x, player.getPosYEye(), pos.z);
			skull.addTag("shooter:"+player.getName().toString());
			world.playSound(player, player.getPosition(), SoundEvents.ENTITY_WITHER_SHOOT, SoundCategory.PLAYERS , 1.0F, 1.0F);
			world.addEntity(skull);
			player.getHeldItem(hand).damageItem(100, player, Player -> {});
			return ActionResult.resultSuccess(player.getHeldItem(hand));
		}
		else {
			return ActionResult.resultFail(player.getHeldItem(hand));
		}
	}

 

also I just noticed that I shouldn't add that tag because it's already in the entity, so just ignore that bit

AccurateSkull skull = new AccurateSkull(world, player, look.x*2, look.y*2, look.z*2);

here are the constructors being used

 

public AccurateSkull(World worldIn, LivingEntity shooter, double accelX, double accelY, double accelZ) {
		super(EntityType.WITHER_SKULL, shooter, accelX, accelY, accelZ, worldIn);
	}

 

public AccurateProjectile(EntityType<?> p_i50175_1_, LivingEntity p_i50175_2_, double p_i50175_3_, double p_i50175_5_, double p_i50175_7_, World p_i50175_9_) {
	      this(p_i50175_1_, p_i50175_9_);
	      this.shootingEntity = p_i50175_2_;
	      this.setLocationAndAngles(p_i50175_2_.getPosX(), p_i50175_2_.getPosY(), p_i50175_2_.getPosZ(), p_i50175_2_.rotationYaw, p_i50175_2_.rotationPitch);
	      this.recenterBoundingBox();
	      this.setMotion(Vec3d.ZERO);
	      p_i50175_3_ = p_i50175_3_ + this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.02D;
	      p_i50175_5_ = p_i50175_5_ + this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.02D;
	      p_i50175_7_ = p_i50175_7_ + this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.02D;
	      double d0 = (double)MathHelper.sqrt(p_i50175_3_ * p_i50175_3_ + p_i50175_5_ * p_i50175_5_ + p_i50175_7_ * p_i50175_7_);
	      this.accelerationX = p_i50175_3_ / d0 * 0.1D;
	      this.accelerationY = p_i50175_5_ / d0 * 0.1D;
	      this.accelerationZ = p_i50175_7_ / d0 * 0.1D;
	   }

 

AccurateProjectile extends Entity btw

ok I checked if the entity is null
 

and it is null, but that doesn't make sense because the constructor should set this.shootingEntity to the correct player

shootingEntity might be null on client side (havent checked). Extend your entity with IEntityAdditionalSpawnData if that is the case.

so what do I do after I implement it?

so in the writespawndata I can write down the entity with it's UniqueId or Id

 

but in the readSpawnData, how would I convert it back into an entity from it's id, or is there a way to write the LivingEntity into the buffer

It's still null, what am I doing wrong?
 

@Override
	public void writeSpawnData(PacketBuffer buffer) {
		buffer.writeInt(this.shootingEntity.getEntityId());
		
	}

	@Override
	public void readSpawnData(PacketBuffer additionalData) {
		this.shootingEntity=(LivingEntity) this.world.getEntityByID(additionalData.readInt());
	}

 

I made them log, but nothing is logged so I think I'm missing something

return NetworkHooks.getEntitySpawningPacket(this);

I overrided createSpawnPacket with this and now I see writeSpawnData from the server side, but readSpawnData doesn't do anything

https://github.com/TallYate/Bedrock-Things-mod/tree/master/src/main/java/me/joshua/bedrockthings/util
It's mostly just a copied version of the vanilla versions, but I turned the projectile randomness down.

I want it to be a wither skull though, I just made the class because I didn't know another way to remove the randomness when spawning a wither skeleton skull

Ok I registered an EntityType and readSpawnData is now being run on the client side, but right after it runs, the game crashes

Just now, TallYate said:

the game crashes

When that happens, *always* post your debug.log, just saying it crashes doesn't really tell anyone anything

Track that NPE down I'd say, based on the partial logs you've shown, figure out what's null and why, and fix it if it shouldn't be

I think this is what is crashing the game because if I removed the overrided createSpawnPacket, it doesn't crash, but the skull is invisible

@Override
	public void writeSpawnData(PacketBuffer buffer) {
		BedrockThings.log( (this.world.isRemote()) + " writing");

	}

	}
