Weather Rocket

Overview

Class: crazypants.enderio.machine.obelisk.weather.EntityWeatherRocket Extends: EntityFireworkRocket

EntityWeatherRocket is a modified firework rocket entity spawned by the Weather Obelisk. It extends Minecraft’s EntityFireworkRocket with a custom maximum age and effects system tied to weather tasks.

Spawning

Spawned by TileWeatherObelisk when a weather task (Rain, Thunder, or Clear) is activated. It is spawned with a WeatherTask ordinal stored in its data watcher at index DATA_ID = 24.

Attributes

Behavior

onEntityUpdate()

On the client side, every MAX_AGE / 10 ticks (7 ticks), after 30 ticks have passed, the doEffect() method is called to render particle effects.

setDead()

When the rocket is set dead (times out or is destroyed):

• If server-side, it calls WeatherTask.complete(world) for the associated task to finalize the weather change.
• The weather task is determined by reading the data watcher ordinal.

handleHealthUpdate()

Empty override — the rocket does not respond to health update packets.

Effects (Client-Side)

doEffect() spawns a large 3D grid of EntityFireworkSparkFX particles:

• Grid size: 5 blocks in each direction (11×11×11 cube)
• Sound: fireworks.largeBlast (or fireworks.largeBlast_far if ticksExisted > 40)
• Particle color: Determined by WeatherTask.color.getRGB()
• Trail: Enabled, twinkle: disabled
• Speed: 1.0

The particle grid iterates with random offsets for a scattered, firework-like burst appearance.

Weather Tasks

The data watcher stores the current WeatherTask ordinal:

When the rocket’s lifetime expires and setDead() is called, the appropriate task’s complete() method is invoked server-side to finalize the weather change.

Notes

• This entity is not a mob — it is a utility entity for weather control.
• It uses reflection to override the private lifetime field of EntityFireworkRocket from the default Minecraft value to 70 ticks.
• The particle effects only render client-side; server-side only handles the weather task completion.
• The entity does not deal damage and has no collision with players or blocks.
