Adding a collar to another mob

Is it possible? Can I add a collar, for lets say... A creeper? A villager? A pig?
If so, how? Packets?

Thanks in advance!

 

NonameSL To the best of my knowledge and assuming you mean those wolf collars, I am pretty certain that it cannot be done.

 

Collar is a clientside render pretty sure

 

ok lets imagine you added collar on your (server) side.

how client going to know about your actions?

False

 

How so? o.o are you telling me the server renders the images and sends it to the client?

LOL

No. The server sends information about what the object is an the client will respond to that, BUT, it has to be from the server side first. If you happen to be "able" to put collars on a different mob, how would the client be able to recognize it? It comes from both server and client, not the client itself.

 

I realize that but my original post said its "rendered" client side. And to my knowledge does not render on any other mob

? It's a "well duh" thing - what does the server render? Nothing involving rendering. It just loads stuff and sends it to the player.

And as for your second point, the player will be able to get it, but instead of generating the mob, it will crash since it doesn't know the server put the collar there. It CAN render on a different mob AFAIK, but the client doesn't know that.

It's like trying to send a nonexisting block to the client, the client doesn't know what to do with it, but knows it has to render somehow, and the lookup fails. There's your crash.

 

That still goes back to my main point: "No you cant have the tag render on the client for different mobs because the client renders the collars. and Although I have not looked up details I believe if you send a collar with a mob it wouldn't crash since it just another NBT tag that the client doesnt know exists for the mob, so unless the client checks the packet lengths for the mobs (which I doubt, but I could be wrong).

regarding your second argument, what you are saying is like saying if I tossed a apple into the engine of a jet in flight the jet would "cook" the apple for a instant(which is probably true..., at one instance in time the apple would be just right for eating), its just the plane and apple would both crash to the ground in a firey heap as a side effect.

 

That's one strong apple or one poor engine. A single apple wouldn't take down most planes.

 

Good point... I will rephrase to a giant apple at 1m diameter

 

single apple can take down any plan, but that apple shoud move really fast.

i will remind you about E=MCC

 

RawCode Good point, but I don't think that he would be able to throw the apple all that fast. And that's not to mention that most planes, especially the commercial ones, have more than one engine - taking out of them wouldn't have to result in the plane 'crashing in a firey heap'

Also, this is more than slightly off-topic now.

 

If nothing works another option would be to just make a custom resource pack and set it as the server resource pack

 

99storm2 Would hardly be perfect, but in the absence of anything else I guess that's the best case.

 

AdamQpzm Yeah it wouldnt be the best option because some people dont use the server resource pack

 

Welp this thread is going straight downhill
