    • swingMainHand

      void swingMainHand()

    • swingOffHand

      void swingOffHand()
      Makes this entity swing their off hand. This method does nothing if this entity does not have an animation for swinging their off hand.

    • playHurtAnimation

    • setCollidable

      void setCollidable(boolean collidable)
      Set if this entity will be subject to collisions with other entities.

      Exemptions to this rule can be managed with getCollidableExemptions()

      Note that the client may predict the collision between itself and another entity, resulting in this flag not working for player collisions. This method should therefore only be used to set the collision status of non-player entities.

      To control player collisions, use Team.Option.COLLISION_RULE in combination with a Scoreboard and a Team.

      Parameters:
      collidable - collision status

    • isCollidable

      boolean isCollidable()
      Gets if this entity is subject to collisions with other entities.

      Some entities might be exempted from the collidable rule of this entity. Use getCollidableExemptions() to get these.

      Please note that this method returns only the custom collidable state, not whether the entity is non-collidable for other reasons such as being dead.

      Note that the client may predict the collision between itself and another entity, resulting in this flag not being accurate for player collisions. This method should therefore only be used to check the collision status of non-player entities.

      To check the collision behavior for a player, use Team.Option.COLLISION_RULE in combination with a Scoreboard and a Team.

      Returns:
      collision status

    • getCollidableExemptions

      @NotNull @NotNull Set<UUID> getCollidableExemptions()
      Gets a mutable set of UUIDs of the entities which are exempt from the entity's collidable rule and which's collision with this entity will behave the opposite of it.

      This set can be modified to add or remove exemptions.

      For example if collidable is true and an entity is in the exemptions set then it will not collide with it. Similarly if collidable is false and an entity is in this set then it will still collide with it.

      Note these exemptions are not (currently) persistent.

      Note that the client may predict the collision between itself and another entity, resulting in those exemptions not being accurate for player collisions. This method should therefore only be used to exempt non-player entities.

      To exempt collisions for a player, use Team.Option.COLLISION_RULE in combination with a Scoreboard and a Team.

      Returns:
      the collidable exemption set
