In order for an entity to move around, we need to define two things, how it moves and where it can move to. We will create this loot table in a later section using this path. Minecraft:loot defines the path to the loot table that the entity will drop on death. This allows us to be able to select all entities with the monster tag. For example monster includes zombies, skeletons and creepers. Family tags are used to group entities in a similar category together.
Minecraft:type_family adds family tags to the entity. This is defined with minecraft:collision_box which will center the box on the middle on the entity. The collision box of an entity is the box within which the entity interacts with or collides with blocks or other entities. The components minecraft:health and minecraft:attack and minecraft:movement are straight forward and set the entities health, attack damage and movement speed. This is for clarity and is recommend in the Style Guide. We define our server file in our BP, under the BP/entities/ folder. This file will be very similar to our item behavior file except with a lot more components.

Like with items, we need a file to tell our entity how to behave which points an identifier to certain components which define behavior. Next, we will look at how to add the visuals.
We will also need additional files to describe the geometry of our entity and its animations, but we will cover those in later sections.įirst, we will cover how to create an entity & define its behavior. The visuals (texture, name, animations, sounds)ĭifferently though, we will need two main files for our entity called the server file and the client file which sit in our BP and RP respectively.Just like items, entities are made up of two parts: Here we will make a ghost entity which will float, attack the player and drop our ectoplasm item on death. These entities can be incredibly powerful allowing you to make your own animals which can be bred and tamed or an aggressive mob that attacks anything it sees. Similarly to custom items, we can also make custom entities with many similar mechanics to the vanilla entities in the game.
