How can I spawn a mob where you can ride on (no horse or pig)

Hello,
I am developing a plugin.
And I wanted to do when a player gets 5 kills, The player gets an item.
When he does right click/left click at te direction he/she is looking @, there will spawn a mob where he/she can ride on.
I hope you can help me.
Greetz,

This code works for me at least.

Code:java

package me.Test2;
 
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.entity.Bat;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Test extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
public void onEnable() {
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
}
 
public void onDisable() {
 
}
 
@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
Player player = e.getPlayer();
 
 
if (e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK
|| e.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
 
if (!e.getItem().hasItemMeta()) return;
if (e.getItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Example")) {
 
Block block = e.getClickedBlock().getRelative(e.getBlockFace());
 
if (block == null || block.getType() == Material.AIR) {
 
Bat bat = (Bat) block.getWorld().spawnEntity(block.getLocation(),
EntityType.BAT /*EXAMPLE*/);
 
bat.setPassenger(player);
}
}
}
}
 
}

EDIT: if you want it to be rideable at all times, you have to add a little more code:

Code:java

package me.Test2;
 
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.entity.Bat;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEntityEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Test extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
public void onEnable() {
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
}
 
public void onDisable() {
 
}
 
@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
Player p = e.getPlayer();
 
 
if (e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK
|| e.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
 
if (!e.getItem().hasItemMeta()) return;
if (e.getItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Example")) {
 
 
Block b = e.getClickedBlock().getRelative(e.getBlockFace());
 
if (b == null || b.getType() == Material.AIR) {
 
Bat ba = (Bat) b.getWorld().spawnEntity(b.getLocation(),
EntityType.BAT /*EXAMPLE*/);
 
ba.setCustomName("BatMan");
ba.setCustomNameVisible(true);
ba.setPassenger(p);
}
}
}
}
 
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteractEntity(PlayerInteractEntityEvent e) {
 
if (e.getRightClicked().getType() != EntityType.BAT) return;
 
Bat bat = (Bat) e.getRightClicked();
if (!bat.getCustomName().equals("BatMan")) return;
 
bat.setPassenger(e.getPlayer());
 
}
}
 

Tested both, and it works like a charm.
