Checking for Wither Skeleton

So you are probably wondering, "How do I check if this skeleton is a Wither Skeleton?" Here is how you solve that. If you are using this in a specific event here is how you should do it (for the sake of this tutorial, I will be using PlayerInteractEntityEvent to check when a player clicks a Wither Skeleton):

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteractEntity(PlayerInteractEntityEvent event){
  //Initialize the variables
  Player player = event.getPlayer();
  Entity entity = event.getRightClicked();
  //Check if the entity is a skeleton
  if(entity instanceof Skeleton){
    //Skeleton variable
    Skeleton skeleton = (Skeleton) entity;
    //Check if the skeleton is a Wither Skeleton
    if(skeleton.getSkeletonType() == SkeletonType.WITHER){
      //The skeleton is a Wither Skeleton
      player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You just right-clicked a wither skeleton!");
    }
  }
}

But basically the method is the same for anything else.

Code:java

if(<yourEntity> instanceof Skeleton){
  //Skeleton variable
  Skeleton skeleton = (Skeleton) <yourEntity>;
  //Check if the skeleton is a Wither Skeleton
  if(skeleton.getSkeletonType() == SkeletonType.WITHER){
    //The skeleton is a Wither Skeleton
  }
}

 

I fucking love you.
