Hey, I'm fairly new to modding, and started at 1.7.10 (yet to move onto later updates). I've made an entity a lot similar to Blaze, however rather than the "fire" aesthetic, I've made the entity more of the opposite to Blaze (ice,water).

Although I have majorly figured the base stuff out including creating my custom fireball entity with slowness and snow placing on blocks. The main issues I'm having are the fireball render still showing the 'fire' animation.

I've tried countless ways to change or even remove the render, however I have not been successful.

I was wondering if this is possible or does the extended fireball entity require the fire?

I hope this makes sense. Code for the custom fireball below. Forge 1.7.10-10.13.4.1448.

EntitySmallFireball extends EntityFireball. In EntityFireball's onUpdate() method there is this (Its probably what you're looking for, if so got to get rid of it, try overriding the onUpdate() method with your own.)

this.worldObj.spawnParticle("smoke", this.posX, this.posY + 0.5D, this.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);

Instead of extending EntitySmallFireball, you could copy & paste the code from EntityFireball & EntitySmallFireBall (removing/modify whatever you want) into your EntityNewSnowball's class so you don't have to extend EntitySmallFireball.

This is great thanks for the response!

Unfortunately tried both of these didn't seem to help, the override onUpdate() didn't seem do anything.

Also tried the none extend, with copies from Fireball and SmallFireball, however it never gets shown in the firing process even with the resource locator command.

Not sure on what else to do.

The snowball doesn't render? Does it still spawn? By spawn I mean when you throw the snowball it still applies slowdown & snow on the ground (spawns a working but invisible projectile). You might have to create your own renderer for the snowball. Look at RenderSnowball's class and just copy & paste (changing whatever you want) into your own RenderCustomSnowball (whatever you name it). Then do the RenderingRegistry with your new Renderer class.
