    Hallo!
    Today we will be making Floating entities with WitherSkulls.​
    (Very easy, in fact!)​
    Please note: Don't TLDR and skip to the bottom and CMD-C CMD-V ; This is to LEARN. (Try!)
    First, We want to create a WitherSkull.​
    Code:java
    1. WitherSkull skull = (WitherSkull) world.spawn(SomeLocation, WitherSkull.class);
    2. //Regular WitherSkull

    If you have not studied World methods, I recommend you to look into it.
    Next, we want to not have our WitherSkull blow up instantly, Or have it be visible... (You definitely don't want a ugly WitherSkull!)​
    Code:java
    1. skull.setDirection(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    2. skull.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    3. //Doing this glitches the witherSkull, making it not visible and not to blow up.

    Also, You can make pigs ride them.. Cool.
    Code:java
    1. Piggi.setRiding(skull);

    And thats it! Simple? right? Heres a demonstration of what this does by SethBling.


    Also:
    you can easily make FREEZEABLE mobs, they can move their heads... but yeah!
    Code:java
    1. WitherSkull base = (WitherSkull) world.spawn(loc, WitherSkull.class);
    2. //Base witherSkull
    3. skull.setDirection(0, 0, 0);
    4. skull.setVelocity(0, 0, 0);
    5. //Invisible
    6. Entity e = world.spawn(loc2, Zombie.class);
    7. e.setRiding(skull);
    8. //Ride frozen witherskull
    9.  

    Also, You can make items float on them too!

    Fully, heres a example, Of creating a boatload of boats!
    Meh, more!
    *Challenge accepted, Skionz!*
    Code:java
    1. package com.chip;
    2.  
    3. import org.bukkit.entity.Entity;
    4. import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
    5. import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
    6. import org.bukkit.entity.WitherSkull;
    7. import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
    8. import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
    9. import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent;
    10. import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
    11. import org.bukkit.util.Vector;
    12.  
    13. public class Rolley extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
    14.  
    15. public void onEnable() {
    16. getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    17. }
    18. public void spawnBoat(Player p) {
    19. WitherSkull skull = (WitherSkull) p.getWorld().spawn(p.getLocation(), WitherSkull.class);
    20. skull.setDirection(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    21. skull.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    22. Entity boat = p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation().add(0, -1, 0), EntityType.BOAT);
    23. skull.setPassenger(boat);
    24. }
    25. @EventHandler
    26. public void onPlayerMoveEvent(PlayerMoveEvent e) {
    27. spawnBoat(e.getPlayer());
    28. }
    29.  
    30. }
    31.  

    Which does

    ChipDev Nice I never actually knew how to do this until now! The one I made just spawned client side boats that floated by default :p

    Yea all client side mobs spawned with PacketPlayOutSpawnLivingEntity (something around that) are spawned client side and they just float there and don't move I guess.

    Yeah.... because the client doesn't tick entities. The server does.

    ChipDev
    pls. packets. With your use of witherskulls, you'll crash the server because of how many entities you'll end up spawning

    zombiekiller753 Im not pro enough to learn packets yet. lol
    Just saying, for example for the boats listen to when the boat breaks, get what it is riding, and destroy it

    I thought you did the same as I did! lol

    ChipDev This is very inefficient you should probably be using packets

    As the skulls are never removed, they are going to be staying there forever. This can end badly.

    Also, if you don't want people to be copy/pasting the code at the end, maybe not include it?

    ChipDev How do we use items? I see the "DroppedItem" but I do not understand how to get it to be a item I want like a sword or a helmet. Also is it possible to give these items names?

    ChipDev

    Yeah!
    Use dropItemNaturally.

    MrDplugins

    ChipDev I understand that but I don't understand how to SET the item!
    Heres my code.
    Code:
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("fe")) {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Item Spawned");
            spawnItem(player.getPlayer());
            }
        return true;
    }
     
    public void spawnItem(Player p) {
    WitherSkull skull = (WitherSkull) p.getWorld().spawn(p.getLocation(), WitherSkull.class);
    skull.setDirection(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    skull.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    Entity sword = p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation().add(0, -1, 0), EntityType.DROPPED_ITEM);
    skull.setPassenger(sword);
     
     
    }

    ChipDev None what I'm asking is that I want to set the item as a diamond sword, how do I set it to be a diamond sword?

    ChipDev

    Ok here:
    Code:java
    1. Entity e = world.dropItem(loc, new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD);
    2. //use e as an entity

    Something I found out how to do is create a living entity that can have custom displaynames and what not. (For more information look at this)

    For example, setting a custom displayname for a Witch:
    Code:java
    1. WitherSkull skull = (WitherSkull) p.getWorld().spawn(p.getLocation(), WitherSkull.class);
    2. skull.setDirection(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    3. skull.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
    4. Witch witch = (Witch) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation(), EntityType.WITCH);
    5. witch.setCustomName("ยง6Ultra Witch");
    6. witch.setCustomNameVisible(true);
    7. skull.setPassenger(witch);

    Hi, Ive been playing with this idea and I wanted to see if i could make a dropped block move with a player but the wither skull keeps appearing? is there a fix for that?

    ChipDev

    Sorry, that requries something different Like NMS, If the wither skull moves , it appears!

    ChipDev

    Save all of your wither skulls to a hash map and retrieve them, and remove them.

    I made a util, with withers and items, but some code is in NMS:

    Code:
    public class FloatingItem {
      
        private Material mater;
        private String name;

        private int[] ids = new int[3];
      
        public FloatingItem(Location loc, double dy, String message, String name, Material mater) {
            this.loc = loc;
            this.dy = dy;
            this.message = message;
            this.name = name;
            this.mater = mater;
            skull = new EntityWitherSkull(((CraftWorld) loc.getWorld()).getHandle());
            skull.setLocation(loc.getX(), loc.getY() + dy + 55, loc.getZ(), 0, 0);
            ((CraftWorld) loc.getWorld()).getHandle().addEntity(skull);
        }
      
        public FloatingItem(String world, double x, double y, double z, double dy, String message, String name, Material mater) {

                Item haloItem = loc.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(loc, new ItemStack(mater));
                haloItem.setPickupDelay(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

                ids[0] = skull.getId();
                ids[1] = horse.getId();

        }
      
        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        public void remove() {

                    for(int i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
                    PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy packet = new PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy(ids[i]);

        }
      
        public Location getLocation() {

        }
      
        public int getSkull() {

        public int getItem() {
            return ids[2];
        }
      
    }
    And a manager for util:

    Code:
    public class FloatItemManager {
    
        public List<FloatingItem> holos = new ArrayList<>();
        private static FloatItemManager hm = new FloatItemManager();
      
        public static FloatItemManager getManager() {
            return hm;
        }
      
        public void makeFloatingItem(Location loc, double dy, String message, String name, Material mat) {
            FloatingItem holo = new FloatingItem(loc, 1.0, message, name, mat);
            holo.send();
            holos.add(holo);
        }
      
        public FloatingItem getByName(String name) {
            for(FloatingItem h : holos) {
                if(h.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(name)) {
                   return h;
                }
            }
            return null;
        }
      
        public FloatingItem getFloatingItem(Location loc) {
            for(FloatingItem h : holos) {
                if(h.getLocation() == loc) {
                   return h;
                }
            }
            return null;
        }
      
        public void removeFloatingItem(FloatingItem holo) {
            if(holos.contains(holo)) {
                holos.remove(holo);
              
                holo.remove();
            }
        }
      
    }
    
    This util can make something like this:
