Hey everyone! I'm trying to make an original pet that I'm having trouble with trying to program.
1) I want to combine two things together to create the pet. Either by throwing it on the ground and *poof* mob pet is there OR you get the spawn egg of the mob which disappears after use.
2) that this creature is then tamed by the player immediately
Is this possible to do? And what kind of code could I put together to make this happen?
THANK YOU!!
Yes, that's possible :).
You can ask ChatGPT which kind of code you could put together to make this happen.
This is definitely possible!
Once your creature/mob is created, you will need to create your spawn egg (assuming you are not using the default).
For the "throwing on the ground" option, you would need to create a ranged item, set your max stack size to whatever you want, and item usage count to 0. Make the projectile and your ranged item look like the egg. Then for your triggers make one procedure for "when item used" that will set the stack size to -1, so that it uses up the egg. Then set up a "when projectile hits block" procedure, that says "spawn entity" then a block for "tame [get nearest entity of your entity] by [source entity(aka the player that threw the egg)]. Then you can just add the little details like summoning particles or playing a sound.
The other option of right clicking the egg on the ground. Set up a global trigger for "player right clicks on block" then have a check for "if item in main hand = spawn egg" do "spawn mob" and then the same thing as above with the setting up tamed, etc.
@Stitch THANKS! I'll try that now!
