Mobs

Mobs are spawned via Spawn Mob. There are two extra mob types in the code that refer to mobs classes that can never spawn: Mob and Monster (they are always subclasses, aka another more specific type).

Since release 1.6, all minecarts are spawned with object type 10 and their functionality is then specified in the Data field within the packet. Also, their visual appearance may be sent via the Entity Metadata packet.

Entity Metadata Format

Note that entity metadata is a totally distinct concept from block metadata. All entities must send at least one item of metadata, in most cases this will be the health item.

An Entity Metadata is an array of entries, each of which looks like the following:

Name Type Meaning
Index Unsigned Byte Unique index key determining the meaning of the following value, see the table below. If this is 0xff then the it is the end of the Entity Metadata array and no more is read.
Type Optional Byte Enum Only if Index is not 0xff; the type of the index, see the table below
Value Optional value of Type Only if Index is not 0xff: the value of the metadata field
Value of Type field Type of Value field Notes
0 Byte
1 VarInt
2 Float
3 String
4 Chat
5 Slot
6 Boolean
7 Rotation 3 floats: rotation on x, rotation on y, rotation on z
8 Position
9 OptPosition (Boolean + Optional Position) Position is present if the Boolean is set to true
10 Direction (VarInt) (Down = 0, Up = 1, North = 2, South = 3, West = 4, East = 5)
11 OptUUID (Boolean + Optional UUID) UUID is present if the Boolean is set to true
12 BlockID (VarInt) id << 4 | data

Entity classes also recursively use fields from classes they extend.
