Changing maximum entity health

Before 1.0, you could simply use entity.setHealth() to set higher health. But now this command is capped at entity's max health.

Is there a way to change maximum health of the specific entity?

 

I don't know, but I guess if there is you'll have to get the craft Entity and figure out what variable that is, and change it...

I ran into this exact same issue with DeadMines, and the answer is yes. However, you need to dig deep into the dark magic of NMS code and Reflection. Here's a link to how I accomplished it (with @fullwall 's help)

Also, make sure you place this piece of code in your plugin and run it once (as a sort of initializer), otherwise the server won't recognize your custom entity:

Code:java

 
	public void registerDeadMinesZombie() throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException, SecurityException, NoSuchMethodException{
		Class<?>[] parameterTypes = {Class.class, String.class, int.class}; // reflection uses the parameter classes during the lookup process.
		Method method = EntityTypes.class.getDeclaredMethod("a", parameterTypes); // look up the method object using the class of EntityTypes.
		method.setAccessible(true); // since the method is private, we make sure we can access it.
		method.invoke(null, DeadMinesZombie.class, "Zombie", 54); //keep 1st parameter null, 2nd one should be your new entity class,
                                                                     // 3rd should be the name of whatever Entity you extended, and 4th should be the ID of said entity (you can find that on the MC wiki)
	}
 

 

:O

Will try it out. Thanks!

Will that replace all other entities? For example in your case, normal zombies will still have normal health, right?

Also, is this how you spawn entities?

Code:java

			CBworld.addEntity(guard);
			guard.getBukkitEntity().teleport(guard.getLocation());

(CBworld is net.minecraft.server.WorldServer, guard is cusotm mob class)
