[1.16.1] Custom Entity holding an Item

[BunnYx]

Managed to make a hostile entity, however the item's, well let's just say, no dice. Found pretty much code that led me nowhere, searched through ZombieEntity, PillagerEntity and AbstractSkeletonEntity Classes.
*Entity Class:* https://pastebin.com/Kc03YVt7
*Entity Renderer:* https://pastebin.com/FTP9G3kn

Tried using this in my entity class:
`@Override
    protected void setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty(DifficultyInstance difficulty) {
        this.setItemStackToSlot(EquipmentSlotType.MAINHAND, new ItemStack(Items.DIAMOND_SWORD));
`    }

And this in my entity render class:
 ` this.addLayer(new HeldItemLayer(this));`

Hope i can get pointed at what im supposed to be looking at, otherwise i will waste probably hours looking like i have already blindly, thank you in advance. (1.16.1)

1. You don't own bunny.com.
2. Please update to 1.16.4.

3. This is not visible in the code you posted.

I have updated to 1.16.4 like you said and the latest mappings, for your 1. I have no idea what you mean, since this is my very own mod package under my username. Also for 3. I have taken the code out because it was doing nothing and not giving me any errors anyways but thought id specify the closest thing I probably got to with my issue.  ` this.addLayer(new HeldItemLayer(this));`  <-- This was under in my builder super().

Java package names are reverse domain names. If you use "com.bunny" that implies you own bunny.com. This is used to prevent name collisions, since obviously a domain cannot be own by multiple entities. If you don't own a domain name, use something that cannot be a domain name, e.g. "mod.<mod id here>". "mod" is not a valid TLD, so it is safe to use.

 

Please post the actual code you were trying to use to achieve this effect.

 

Alright i hope this fixed the issue, i will upload the classes once more with the code that i tried to use in order to get my original question to work.

If anything else is needed please let me know, although for holding an item I'm pretty sure that these two classes are all that you need in order to do so. Sorry for any inconveniences as I am ned to modding and thank you for your time.

setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty is not called by default. Look at where vanilla entities call it.

Yeah but without actually doing the difficulty setting I have no idea how to do any of the item setting if I'm being completely honest. setEquipmentBasedOnDifficulty is called from MobEntity , and by looking through that I do not see anything that I should be using. I can't paste any of the original code here but I'm very sure you know exactly what it looks like. I tried many discord forge modding servers and nobody was able to help. This is pretty much my last resort 🤷‍♂️ Wasted my whole day today playing around with Minecraft's original code to no avail.

No, it is not. It is defined in MobEntity, but it is not called from there.

Once again: Look at where vanilla entities call this method.

From looking more onInitialSpawn seems to be the case, although whenever I try to override it alongside the renders of the item the game simply crashes upon loading in the world with this log. (Doing by summoning the entity only)

Show your model class.

Update, well i managed to actually add the item to the entities hand, as poopoodice mentioned the model i did more digging and it turns out i needed a few lines of code there, i am now able to add items to the mainhand as well as the offhand, however for the others aka Armor i assume i would need something else in the model class. Implemented

IHasArm

for the hands though. Not sure how i'd go about the armor, but regardless with the armor i will most likely just model all my entities in blockbench with the armor already on there since some models will be different sizes so i think that would be a good practice for me. Thank you to the both of you for the individual help. Big or small. Will focus on making animations and what-not in the far future since im only wanting to test all the features i need, which this was one of those
