Create a custom projectile [1.15.2]

[sccreeper]

How do a make a projectile entity, similar to arrows, in 1.15.2. It would be helpful if I knew how to fire it from a custom 'shooter' as well.

 

If anybody is able to help or show me what to do that would be greatly appreciated.

ArrowItem, ArrowEntity and BowItem will be a lot of help here.

I believe there is also a Projectile class? (Also look at ShootableItem, I think it's called)

That would be a good place to start -- when you boil it down, all you want to do is:

 

1) Make an item...

2) Which spawns a new entity when you right click...

3) Which then travels until it hits something...

4) And if it hits an Entity, damage it.

 

Of course there's more you'd want to do, such as making it arc, charging up the bow, consuming ammo, etc..., but those are the basic steps. If you're familiar with onItemRightClick and making entities, you're already most of the way to something functional
