[SOLVED]-[1.16.1] How to handle Custom Slime Death

[samjviana]

I've made an Custom Slime Entity that his color works like Sheep's color. So i have one white slime template and for each slime created i "randomize" it's color.
The problem is that when the slime dies, it's childs spawn with the template color and not with the "parent" color.
I've already googled around and searched betwen the classes but ended up with nothing, so how can i pass the color to the new little slimes when a big one dies?

the Entity code:

    }

        for(int j = 0; j < i * 8; ++j) {

Try overriding the remove method in the ColoredSlimeEntity and setting the color of the new children to the same color as the parent.

Just tried that, and it worked. Thank you!!
