  1. Hello,

    I'm looking to get some help with monitoring entity deaths.
    I only want to monitor entities that are killed by players. EntityDeathEvent has no method to get the cause of the death.

    I looked around and found many instances of people saying to use EntityDamageByEntityEvent and get the entities health but the EntityDamageByEntityEvent doesn't get called when the entity is struck by a killing blow.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll attach the example code I am using incase I have missed something simple.

    Code:
    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.MONITOR, ignoreCancelled = true)
    public void onEnitiyDamageByEntity(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
        if((event.getDamager() instanceof Player) && (event.getEntity() instanceof LivingEntity)) {
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("Player attacking the living entity");
            LivingEntity entity = (LivingEntity) event.getEntity();
            if(entity.getHealth() == 0) {
                Bukkit.getLogger().info("Entity Dead");
            }
        }
    }
    Solved it myself. Heh.
    Got to listen to EntityDeathEvent and use if(event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause() instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent)
