This doesn't work, not sure why... SpigotMC

Question

Why isnt the EntityZombieHusk working here? I'm using 1.16.5 jar file for this

package com.TheRealBee.mob;

public class CustomPet extends EntityZombieHusk{}

Any help is appreciated
My IDE has a function that makes it so that if the class is not imported it would give you suggestions on what to import but none showed up

Error type: Cannot resolve symbol "EntityZombieHusk"

Edit: I forgot to import the spigot-1.16.5.jar

Answer 1

The IDE returns an error because it doesn't know where the EntityZombieHusk class is. That class in not present in the Bukkit/Spigot API, which means you have to import NMS (net.minecraft.server) to use it.

To import NMS:

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId>
    <artifactId>spigot</artifactId>
    <version>version</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Gradle:

compileOnly "org.spigotmc:spigot:version"

Note: Make sure to change the version; otherwise, it won't work.
