attackEntity

public ActionResult attackEntity(ItemStack staffStack, World world, LivingEntity attacker, Entity target, Hand hand)(source)

Called on both the client by Staff Mod and the server by Fabric API (Fabric) or Staff Mod (Forge), when an entity attacks an entity with a staff.

On the logical client, the return values have the following meaning:

  • SUCCESS: Cancel vanilla entity attack, send a packet to the server, and swing hand. This doesn't reset the entity attack cooldown

  • CONSUME, CONSUME_PARTIAL: Cancel vanilla entity attack, send a packet to the server, and don't swing hand. This doesn't reset the entity attack cooldown

  • PASS: Let Minecraft handle vanilla entity attack

  • FAIL: Cancel vanilla entity attack, don't send a packet to the server, and don't swing hand. This doesn't reset the entity attack cooldown

On the logical server, the return values have the following meaning (if used by player):

  • SUCCESS, CONSUME, CONSUME_PARTIAL, FAIL: Cancel vanilla entity attack, don't attack the entity

  • PASS: Let Minecraft handle vanilla entity attack

On the logical server, the return values are processed by the caller code (if the attacker is not a player).
