How to register a entity renderer in 1.16.5

[CrazyKZB 0]

I am new to the forge API and could only find information about DefferredRegister for blocks and items. So I attempted to use IRenderFactory, but found out that in 1.16- they dont use classes anymore, but EntityTypes. I attempted to use my entity type that I had for the custom entity, but it took in a EntityType<?> so when I used it. It gave an error. If anyone has had this error before and found a solution please tell me what you did.

You have not shown or specified the error you got or what code you have attempted to use.

Sorry for the late response. Here is what I used

//The Entity Type
public static EntityType<EntityChupacabra> RChupacabraEntity = (EntityType<EntityChupacabra>) EntityType.Builder.create(EntityChupacabra::new, EntityClassification.MONSTER).build(Test.MOD_ID + ":EntityChupacabra").setRegistryName(Registration.location("EntityChupacabra"));
 
//The RenderRegistry
RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityRegistration.RChupacabraEntity,new RenderChupacabra.RenderFactory());

Do not create registry entries in static initializers.

Refer to the documentation on registries.

 

Also, do not use unchecked casts.

How would I go about doing that. Like creating a render register using something like Deferred register or registry event.

The documentation shows you exactly that...?
