Getting what mob died...

How would I go about getting the name of the mob that died when a player kills one? I need a bit of an explanation on this, as I have no idea since theres no e.getType.getName() or anything...

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent e)
    {
       
       
    }

 

Get the entity and then do a check for instanceof.

For example: if (entity instanceof Creeper)

Edit: Here's an example.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent e) {
        Entity entity = e.getEntity();
        if (entity instanceof Creeper) {
            // Do something
        }
    }

 

This is a slightly hackish way but will give you the name of any entity in one line :

Code:

String MobName = entity.getClass().getSimpleName().replace("Craft", "")

 

event.getEntity().getType().toString() is better, as it will also work on non-craftbukkit servers.

 

There is no: event.getEntity().getType().toString()

I tried to use the 1.1-R5 snapshoot the latest one, it looks like that the getType is not yet implemented.
