Mob Upside Down?

I was wondering.. is it still possible to make a mob be upside down in 1.8 and above?
if so, how?

 

@MordorKing78
If I remember correctly, the only way to achieve this is if the mob is named "dinnerbone". If you don't want the mob's name to be shown, you can hide the entity's name and spawn in another custom entity with the name you want .

 

@Zombie_Striker is this still possible?

 

@MordorKing78
Yes. Just name the mob "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" and your mob will be upside down.

 

@AlvinB I did do that yesterday, nothing happened.

@AlvinB Oh right.. it doesn't work with Squids, is there any possible way to make a squid go upside down?

@MordorKing78
It does actually work, the only thing is that a squid is exactly the same upside down as right side up.

 

@AlvinB Is there any other way I can make it look like the squid's head is facing downwards?

 

@MordorKing78
Just set it's direction to face downwards. IE:

Code:java

squid.teleport(squid.getLocation().setDirection(new Vector()));

 

@MordorKing78
I think squid's orientation is based on it's yaw and pitch. Try changing those values/

 

@AlvinB Well, it doesn't seem to work, the squid spawns and goes into his swimming mode, I'm not sure if the code is actually doing anything. I need the tenticals to face upwards. Also, I want the Squid to be facing upwards constantly, would I need to keep teleporting the squid?

@Zombie_Striker I did try that but it didn't seem to work.

 

@MordorKing78
Well, you could just remove the squids AI, and then it won't move after you set the direction.

 

@AlvinB This is NMS, right?
I'm not really familiar with creating custom entities, how would I remove an AI for a specific Squid. Squids in the wilderness should still be able to move.

 

@MordorKing78
Not really NMS, no.

Code:java

squid.setAI(false)

That simple, infact.

 

@AlvinB Facepalm, let me try =o
