How does pathfinding work when the mob is in water?

So I've defined a custom entity behavior called EntityAIFaceOff, and it basically just has my entity find a path to the player and stop at a certain distance. These are the conditions for stopping the execution:

 

Quote

	if (entity.targetofmyrevenge == null)
            return false;
        if (this.outofRange == true)
            return false;
	if (path == null)
		return false;
        return true;

 

It all works fine on solid ground, but when I lead the mob into water it'll stop chasing me because its path to me becomes null. It reverts to its wandering AI and floats around with the swimming AI and wandering AI.

 

I took a look at the zombie's AIs and didn't see anything special it was doing there, I use all the same path finding methods. How exactly does Minecraft's pathfinding work when the mob is in water?

 

Edit: I've sort of replicated the Vanilla one by manually setting the entity's motion to go towards the player if it's in water. Not sure if there's a better way I can do it tho.

As far as i know zombies just stop moving and sink when in water, so its a pretty different behaviour to what you are trying to achieve there. I think you should take a look at the SpiderEntity class, for example, as the spider will continue chasing you even when in water. Look also at SwimGoal, NearestAttackableTargetGoal and MeleeAttackGoal classes (which are part of the spider behaviour) to see how they deal with a mob chasing its target while also swimming in water. Anyway, in case that i am completely missing the point or that you already explored the above classes, please, post your entity class code!

    • Hello, I would like to make a mod with which I can distribute my own capes to players. The players should be able to see their capes among each other.
    • Tried that, unfortunately didn't work. Any other solutions?
    • Add necronomicon https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/necronomicon
    • I have a keylogger code as following: package com.key_logger_mod; import com.google.gson.Gson; import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder; import net.minecraftforge.api.distmarker.Dist; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.InputEvent; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager; import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger; import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft; import org.lwjgl.glfw.GLFW; import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; import java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = "key_logger_mod", bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.FORGE, value = Dist.CLIENT) public class KeyboardLogger {     private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();     private static final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();     private static final boolean logToJson = true; // Set to false to log to console     private static final String jsonFilePath = "/path/to/file";     private static final Map<Integer, Boolean> keyStates = new HashMap<>();     private static final long WINDOW_HANDLE = Minecraft.getInstance().getWindow().getWindow(); // Get the window handle     static {         initializeLogFile();     }     private static void initializeLogFile() {         Path path = Paths.get(jsonFilePath);         try {             Files.write(path, "[".getBytes(), StandardOpenOption.CREATE, StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING);         } catch (IOException e) {             LOGGER.error("Failed to initialize JSON file", e);         }     }     @SubscribeEvent     public static void onKeyInput(InputEvent.Key event) {         if (Minecraft.getInstance().level == null) return; // Only log if the player is in the game world         long timestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();         int key = event.getKey();         int action = event.getAction();         int mods = event.getModifiers();         synchronized (keyStates) {             if (action == GLFW.GLFW_PRESS) {                 if (!keyStates.getOrDefault(key, false)) {                     keyStates.put(key, true);                     logKeyAction(timestamp, key, "PRESS");                 }             } else if (action == GLFW.GLFW_RELEASE) {                 if (keyStates.getOrDefault(key, false)) {                     keyStates.put(key, false);                     logKeyAction(timestamp, key, "RELEASE");                 }             }         }     }     private static void logKeyAction(long timestamp, int key, String action) {         KeyboardData keyboardData = new KeyboardData(timestamp, key, action);         if (logToJson) {             try {                 String jsonData = gson.toJson(keyboardData) + ",";                 Files.writeString(Paths.get(jsonFilePath), jsonData + System.lineSeparator(), StandardOpenOption.CREATE, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);             } catch (IOException e) {                 LOGGER.error("Failed to write keyboard event to JSON file", e);             }         } else {             LOGGER.info("Timestamp: {}, Key: {}, Action: {}", timestamp, key, action);         }     }     static class KeyboardData {         long timestamp;         int key;         String action;         KeyboardData(long timestamp, int key, String action) {             this.timestamp = timestamp;             this.key = key;             this.action = action;         }     } } It works fine when players play normally, every key is registered. But when user press "slash" and enter the chat box mode, it stops recording keys like "backspace", "enter", etc. But still registering characters and number keys. Why is this happening?
