We highly recommend to read the tutorial Getting Started first. This tutorial will cover the basics of adding an entity to the game using JSON files. There is a full list of all properties which can be defined inside the json file here.
Little Figure
The idea is create a little passive figure, made out of wood. The modid of our mod will be figure
.
EntityType
Common
So first of all we have to create the entity type file assets/figure/entities/land/littlefigure.json
. Now we go through all the properties:
code
: The unique identifier for your entity. A prefix of your mod id will be added automatically. Our case its figure:littlefigure
.
class
: The class of the entity, it can be used to program special features for it. We don't need it at the moment, so we set it to EntityAgent
.
hitboxSize
: The size of the hitbox.
"hitboxSize": {
"x": 0.4,
"y": 0.5
},
deadHitboxSize
: The size of the hitbox when the entity has died.
"deadHitboxSize": {
"x": 0.4,
"y": 0.5
},
eyeHeight
: The height of the eyes, which is 0.4
for the little figure.
drops
: A list of items to be dropped (can also include chances). We leave it empty for now: []
.
sounds
: Set the sounds for the entity
"hurt": "creature/figure-hurt",
"death": "creature/figure-death",
"idle": "creature/figure-idle"
Client
The client type has different properties for client and server. This will cover the client side (rendering, shape, texture):
"client": {
"renderer": "Shape", // How the entity will be rendered, "Shape" is the right one in almost all cases.
"shape": { "base": "entity/land/littlefigure" }, // a path to our shape
"texture": { "base": "game:block/wood/planks/birch1" }, // the figure should have the texture of birch wood. Therefore the prefix "game" is needed
"behaviors": [
{ "code": "repulseagents" },
{
"code": "controlledphysics", // Adds physics to the entity
"stepHeight": 0.2
},
{
"code": "floatupwhenstuck", // Fixes corpse get stuck in ground
"onlyWhenDead": true
},
{ "code": "interpolateposition" } // Smooths out movement of entity
],
"animations": [ // Animations which have to be implemented by the shape as well
{
"code": "hurt",
"animation": "hurt",
"animationSpeed": 2.2,
"weight": 10,
"blendMode": "AddAverage"
},
{
"code": "die",
"animation": "die",
"animationSpeed": 1.25,
"weight": 10,
"blendMode": "AddAverage"
}
]
},
Server
The server side handles the "brain" of the entity.
"server": {
"behaviors": [
{ "code": "repulseagents" },
{
"code": "controlledphysics", // Adds physic interaction
"stepHeight": 0.2
},
{
"code": "health", // Adds a health bar to the entity
"currenthealth": 4,
"maxhealth": 4
},
{
"code": "deaddecay", // Makes the dead entity stay for one hour
"hoursToDecay": 1
},
{
"code": "floatupwhenstuck", // Fixes corpse get stuck in ground
"onlyWhenDead": true
},
{
"code": "despawn", // Makes the entity despawn if there is no player within 48 blocks
"minPlayerDistance": 48,
"minSeconds": 5
},
{
"code": "emotionstates", // Adds different emotion states
"states": [
{
"code": "fleeondamage", // After the entity is hit it will try to flee for 10 seconds
"duration": 10,
"chance": 0.2,
"slot": 0,
"prority": 1,
"accumType": "max"
}
]
},
{
"code": "taskai", // Handles what the entity does, a task will be processed one at a time
"aitasks": [
{
"code": "idle", // the figure will stand still and think
"priority": 1.2,
"priorityForCancel": 1.35,
"minduration": 4000,
"maxduration": 6000,
"chance": 0.001,
"initialMinCoolDown": 2000,
"initialMaxCoolDown": 150000,
"mincooldown": 300000,
"maxcooldown": 10000000,
"animation": "think",
"animationSpeed": 1.25
},
{
"code": "wander", // The entity will walk around
"priority": 1.0,
"movespeed": 0.008,
"animationSpeed": 1.6,
"animation": "run",
"preferredLightLevel": 15
},
{
"code": "lookaround", // The entity will look around
"priority": 0.5
}
]
}
]
},
Result
If we put everything together it should look like this:
{
"code": "littlefigure",
"class": "EntityAgent",
"hitboxSize": {
"x": 0.4,
"y": 0.5
},

"y": 0.5
},
"eyeHeight": 0.4,
"drops": [],

{
"code": "controlledphysics",
"stepHeight": 0.2
},
{
"code": "floatupwhenstuck",
"onlyWhenDead": true
},
{ "code": "interpolateposition" }
],
"animations": [
{
"code": "hurt",
"animation": "hurt",
"animationSpeed": 2.2,
"weight": 10,

},
{

"animation": "die",
"animationSpeed": 1.25,
"weight": 10,
"blendMode": "AddAverage"
}
]

}
]
},
{
"code": "taskai",
"aitasks": [
{
"code": "idle",
