Frequently asked
Do I need to install Custom Entity API on the client or the server?
The server only. Players join with an ordinary Minecraft client and install nothing.
What licence is Custom Entity API under?
Apache-2.0, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.
How do I install Custom Entity API?
Data packs install per world: put the downloaded file in that world's datapacks folder and run /reload, or add it when creating the world. No loader is involved. On a server, the world folder lives next to the server jar.
Where do I download Custom Entity API safely?
Start with the author's page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference does not host or repackage files. The download link goes to the source recorded for that release; verify the publisher, filename and checksum before running it.
Which Minecraft versions does Custom Entity API work on?
The author has not declared a supported version in the metadata we sync, so there is nothing here we can state as fact. Check the project's own page before installing it, and treat an old data pack with no declared version as untested on modern Minecraft.
