Entity configuration

leonardoiscool

Hello, I'm trying to create a rideable dragon using a 3D model with animations. I followed the wiki steps and I successfully created the seat with the Blockbench addon. The problem comes on the configuration, the wiki only shows a simple example and it doesn't explain every possible parameter/property. There is only a showcase about what I'm trying to do, but not an explanation.

This is my actual configuration (just a copy-paste of the wiki's example with a different name):
info:

namespace: custom

entities:

dragon:

display_name: ""

type: WOLF

model_folder: entity/dragon_converted

silent: true

can_sun_burn: false

speed:

movement: 2

flying: 2

max_health: 20

With this configuration, I get weird movements and my entity dies because of fall damage. Just as I said before, I'm trying to reproduce what is in the showcase that I mentioned.

I think your looking for this page!

It seems like all the work needed to mount the mob is already shown in that page I don't think there is a setting needed like fly: true or something, I'd try setting mob type to ender_dragon as well, a mob that can already fly.

As for the fall damage thing, make sure the hitbox is above the ground, that was an issue for me one time, but I'm not too sure, I haven't made too many itemsadder mobs

ItzASecretBoi First of all, thanks for your answer. I believe that there is more than that not explained, otherwise I believe it's impossible to create the entity showed in the video. How can I change the hitbox to prevent fall damage? And, an Enderdragon entity would constantly fly even when it's dismounted, apart from the fact that the hitbox is too big.

Ah, I see.

I don't think the mobs hitbox will have anything to do with preventing fall damage, I also thought the ender dragons hitbox would be replaced with the one set in blockbench, this is probably something you'd have to suggest or look into other plugins for, as I see no current way to prevent fall damage with a flying mob.

Now if the hitbox is replaced by the one in blockbench like I mentioned, you could always set the mob to one that already doesn't have fall damage such as the iron golem, or if the default hitbox actually is an issue, then a cat.

You can read up here to ensure your hitbox is done correctly.

A few questions.

Does this entity spawn in and immediately die of fall damage? Or do you just mean in general, it is able to be killed by fall damage.

Also maybe explain the "weird movements" more, they should only move how you animated them in blockbench.

Are you able to mount the entity at all, or no?
