1.16.5 Custom Minecart entity is invisible and interactable

[henzo800 0]

Hi, I'm trying to create an entity based of a minecart but the entity appears to be invisible and unable to be interacted with. I'm not seeing any errors in the debug log. I have included my entity and renderer. I have not added any attributes to this entity as I don't think there is any way to add them to minecarts. I added a message during ticks that appears when its alive but the minecart itself does not.

public class TrainEntity extends AbstractMinecartEntity {
	
	public TrainEntity(EntityType<?> p_i50126_1_, World p_i50126_2_) {
		super(p_i50126_1_, p_i50126_2_);
	}

	public TrainEntity(World p_i1723_1_, double p_i1723_2_, double p_i1723_4_, double p_i1723_6_) {
		super(EntityRegister.TRAINENTITY.get(), p_i1723_1_, p_i1723_2_, p_i1723_4_, p_i1723_6_);
	}
	
	public static final String REG = "train_entity";
	
	@Override
	public Type getMinecartType() {
		return AbstractMinecartEntity.Type.RIDEABLE;
	}
	
	public ActionResultType interact(PlayerEntity p_184230_1_, Hand p_184230_2_) {
	    ActionResultType ret = super.interact(p_184230_1_, p_184230_2_);
	    if (ret.consumesAction()) return ret;
	    if (p_184230_1_.isSecondaryUseActive()) {
	       return ActionResultType.PASS;
	    } else if (this.isVehicle()) {
	       return ActionResultType.PASS;
	    } else if (!this.level.isClientSide) {
	       return p_184230_1_.startRiding(this) ? ActionResultType.CONSUME : ActionResultType.PASS;
	    } else {
	       return ActionResultType.SUCCESS;
	    }
	}
	
	@Override
	public void tick() {
		super.tick();
		STAR.LOGGER.debug("STAR - Training Hard");
	}

public class TrainEntityRender<T extends TrainEntity> extends EntityRenderer<T> {
	
	protected final EntityModel<T> model = new CreeperModel<>();
	
	public TrainEntityRender(EntityRendererManager p_i46155_1_) {
		super(p_i46155_1_);
		 this.shadowRadius = 0.7F;
	}

	@Override
	public ResourceLocation getTextureLocation(TrainEntity p_110775_1_) {
		return new ResourceLocation(STAR.MODID, "textures/entity/purple_thing.png");
	}
	
	@Override
	public void render(T p_225623_1_, float p_225623_2_, float p_225623_3_, MatrixStack p_225623_4_, IRenderTypeBuffer p_225623_5_, int p_225623_6_) {
	      super.render(p_225623_1_, p_225623_2_, p_225623_3_, p_225623_4_, p_225623_5_, p_225623_6_);
	      
  			//Bunch of other stuff copied from the MinecartRenderer

	      p_225623_4_.scale(-1.0F, -1.0F, 1.0F);
	      this.model.setupAnim(p_225623_1_, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
	      IVertexBuilder ivertexbuilder = p_225623_5_.getBuffer(this.model.renderType(this.getTextureLocation(p_225623_1_)));
	      this.model.renderToBuffer(p_225623_4_, ivertexbuilder, p_225623_6_, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F);
	      p_225623_4_.popPose();
	      STAR.LOGGER.debug("STAR - RENDER");
	   }
	
	 protected void renderMinecartContents(T p_225630_1_, float p_225630_2_, BlockState p_225630_3_, MatrixStack p_225630_4_, IRenderTypeBuffer p_225630_5_, int p_225630_6_) {
		      Minecraft.getInstance().getBlockRenderer().renderSingleBlock(p_225630_3_, p_225630_4_, p_225630_5_, p_225630_6_, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY);
	 }

}

Event Register:

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onClientSetupEvent(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
    	LOGGER.info("STAR - Client Setup");
    	//Other renderers
    	RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityRegister.TRAINENTITY.get(), TrainEntityRender::new);   
    	
    }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to swich versions of the game, if that dest work try to install the game again.

Custom entities must override getAddEntityPacket and return NetworkHooks.getEntitySpawningPacket.

Too easy, here's the the code if anyone needs it.

	@Override
	public IPacket<?> getAddEntityPacket() {
		return NetworkHooks.getEntitySpawningPacket(this);
	}

EDIT: Fixed as per diesieben07's reply

Just use this, no need to call getEntity (which is just a helper for IForgeEntity).
