[1.16.3] Can't register Entity with Deferred Register

[TimmyRB]

I'm quite new at modding so bear with me here,

I'm trying to register my Entity using the DeferredRegister but I keep getting the error

"The type DeerEntity does not define DeerEntity(EntityType<T>, World) that is applicable here"

 

// RegistryHandler.java

public static final DeferredRegister<EntityType<?>> ENTITY_TYPES = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ENTITIES,
            HuntingUpdate.MOD_ID);

public static final RegistryObject<EntityType<DeerEntity>> DEER = ENTITY_TYPES.register("deer",
            () -> EntityType.Builder.create(DeerEntity::new, EntityClassification.CREATURE)
                    .size(1.0f, 1.0f)
                    .build(new ResourceLocation(HuntingUpdate.MOD_ID, "deer").toString()));

// DeerEntity.java

public class DeerEntity extends AnimalEntity {

    public static final Ingredient TEMPTATION_ITEMS = Ingredient.fromItems(Items.APPLE, Items.CARROT,
            Items.CARROT_ON_A_STICK, Items.BEETROOT);

    private EatGrassGoal eatGrassGoal;
    private int deerTimer;

    protected DeerEntity(EntityType<? extends DeerEntity> type, World worldIn) {
        super(type, worldIn);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    public static AttributeModifierMap.MutableAttribute setCustomAttributes() {
        return AnimalEntity.func_233666_p_().func_233815_a_(Attributes.field_233818_a_, 10.0D) // Max Health
                .func_233815_a_(Attributes.field_233821_d_, 0.3D); // Movement Speed
    }

    @Override
    protected void registerGoals() {
        super.registerGoals();

        this.goalSelector.addGoal(0, new SwimGoal(this));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(1, new PanicGoal(this, 1.5D));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(2, new BreedGoal(this, 1.0D));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(3, new TemptGoal(this, 0.5D, TEMPTATION_ITEMS, true));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(4, new FollowParentGoal(this, 1.1D));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(5, eatGrassGoal);
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(6, new AvoidEntityGoal<>(this, PlayerEntity.class, 15.0F, 1.25D, 0.5D));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(7, new WaterAvoidingRandomWalkingGoal(this, 0.7D));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(8, new LookAtGoal(this, PlayerEntity.class, 10.0F));
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(9, new LookRandomlyGoal(this));
    }

    @Override
    public AgeableEntity func_241840_a(ServerWorld p_241840_1_, AgeableEntity p_241840_2_) {
        return RegistryHandler.DEER.get().create(this.world);
    }

    @Override
    protected int getExperiencePoints(PlayerEntity player) {
        return 1 + this.world.rand.nextInt(4);
    }

    @Override
    protected SoundEvent getAmbientSound() {
        return SoundEvents.ENTITY_SQUID_AMBIENT;
    }

    @Override
    protected SoundEvent getDeathSound() {
        return SoundEvents.ENTITY_SQUID_DEATH;
    }

    @Override
    protected SoundEvent getHurtSound(DamageSource damageSourceIn) {
        return SoundEvents.ENTITY_SQUID_HURT;
    }

    @Override
    protected void playStepSound(BlockPos pos, BlockState blockIn) {
        this.playSound(SoundEvents.ENTITY_SQUID_SQUIRT, 0.15F, 1.0F);
    }

    @Override
    protected void updateAITasks() {
        this.deerTimer = this.eatGrassGoal.getEatingGrassTimer();
        super.updateAITasks();
    }

    @Override
    public void livingTick() {
        if (this.world.isRemote) {
            this.deerTimer = Math.max(0, this.deerTimer - 1);
        }
        super.livingTick();
    }

    @OnlyIn(Dist.CLIENT)
    public void handleStatusUpdate(byte id) {
        if (id == 10) {
            this.deerTimer = 40;
        } else {
            super.handleStatusUpdate(id);
        }
    }
}

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your DeerEntity(EntityType<? extends DeerEntity> type, World worldIn) is protected, it should be public.

I'm also pretty sure it needs to be DeerEntity(EntityType<T> type, World worldIn) as indicated by the error.

Thanks so much! That fixed it for me.
