Solved Cast custom mob to living entity

Hello there gamers, I am trying to create a custom zombie entity that doesn't despawn. The way I do that, is by doing this funny line of code

Code:

livingentity.setRemoveWhenFarAway(false);

The problem is, how do I get the living entity when I am attempting to spawn it. I have tried casting the custom zombie to a living entity but it throws ClassCastException

    public Infected(Location loc) {
        super(((CraftWorld)loc.getWorld()).getHandle());
        this.setPosition(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ());
    }
   
    public static AttributeProvider.Builder eS() {
        return EntityMonster.eR().a(GenericAttributes.FOLLOW_RANGE, 2D).a(GenericAttributes.MOVEMENT_SPEED, 0.4D).a(GenericAttributes.ATTACK_DAMAGE, 3.0D).a(GenericAttributes.ARMOR, 2.0D).a(GenericAttributes.SPAWN_REINFORCEMENTS);
    }
}

 

@MrDaniel EntityZombie is not a LivingEntity. LivingEntity is an interface in the Bukkit API, and EntityZombie is a class in NMS.

 

How would ago about preventing it from despawning? Or getting the newly spawned mib as a LivingEntity. The Craft world method returns a boolean, not the entity spawned.

@MrDaniel Try CraftWorld#addEntity(net.minecraft.server.Entity entity, SpawnReason reason) or net.minecraft.server.Entity#getBukkitEntity().
One gets the Bukkit entity object, while the other spawns the entity.

 

getting the bukkit entity using getBukkitEntity() and then casting it to a LivingEntity worked, thank you
