Interface GeyserDefineEntityPropertiesEvent

All Superinterfaces:
org.geysermc.event.Event
public interface GeyserDefineEntityPropertiesEvent extends org.geysermc.event.Event
Lifecycle event fired during Geyser's startup to allow custom entity properties to be registered for a specific entity type.

Listeners can add new properties for any entity by passing the target entity's identifier (e.g., Identifier.of("player")) to the registration methods. The returned GeyserEntityProperty is used to identify the properties and to update the value of a specific entity instance.

Example usage


 public void onDefine(GeyserDefineEntityPropertiesEvent event) {
     Identifier player = Identifier.of("player");
     GeyserFloatEntityProperty ANIMATION_SPEED =
         event.registerFloatProperty(player, Identifier.of("my_group:animation_speed"), 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.1f);
     GeyserBooleanEntityProperty SHOW_SHORTS =
         event.registerBooleanProperty(player, Identifier.of("my_group:show_shorts"), false);
 }
Retrieving entity instances is possible with, for example, the EntityData.byJavaId(int) method, or GeyserConnection.playerEntity() for the connection player entity. To update the value of a property on a specific entity, use GeyserEntity.updateProperty(GeyserEntityProperty, Object).

Notes:

  • Default values must fall within the provided bounds.
  • There cannot be more than 32 properties registered per entity type in total
  • properties(Identifier) returns properties registered for the given entity (including those added earlier in the same callback), including vanilla properties.
Since:
2.9.0
