::: tip
|
|
This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of entities, loot tables, and Blockbench.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
In this tutorial, you will learn to have an entity spawn with an item in its hand. I'll be using a custom `mandalorian_armorer` entity and a custom `hammer` item for the examples.
|
|
|
|
## Model
|
|
|
|
First of all, you'll need to have a model in Blockbench that has a map called `rightArm`. Within this map, there needs to be a submap called 'rightItem'.
|
|
Now set the position of the pivot point of this submap, so it sits in the place you want the entity to hold the item at.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Behavior Pack-side
|
|
|
|
Now you'll need to add a `minecraft:equipment` component in the component list for your entity and add a loot table with the desired item.
|
|
|
|
In our example it will look like this:
|
|
|
|
<CodeHeader>BP/entity/mandolorian.json#components</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"minecraft:equipment": {
|
|
"table": "loot_tables/entities/gear/mandolorian.json"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Loot Table
|
|
|
|
Finally, add the loot table for your entity. It needs to be in `loot_tables/entities/<your_loot_table_name>.json` in the behavior pack. In our case, it's called `mandolorian.json`.
|
|
|
|
:::warning
|
|
This isn't the same loot table as what it drops on death. So make sure it has a different name.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
To have the entity always spawn with the same item, add the following loot table:
|
|
|
|
<CodeHeader>BP/loot_tables/entities/gear/mandolorian.json</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"pools": [
|
|
{
|
|
"rolls": 1,
|
|
"entries": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "item",
|
|
"name": "dd:hammer",
|
|
"weight": 1
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If everything went well, you'd have something looking like this:
