The Multipart Entity API.

This API abstracts many of the previously EnderDragon and EnderDragonPart specific code so that modders can implement their own MultipartEntities.

Creating a Multipart Entity

To create a MultipartEntity, your Entity simply has to implement the interface and its one method, getEntityParts(). Then, each of its parts must be an instance of EntityPart. This is made easy with the provided AbstractEntityPart.

NOTE:

When instantiating EntityParts, on the client, make sure to call setId(int). 

 @Override
 public void onSpawnPacket(EntitySpawnS2CPacket packet) {
     super.onSpawnPacket(packet);
     var entityParts = this.getEntityParts();

     // We make sure not to override the base entity id
     // Mojang did this on the ender dragon, and it caused very janky hitboxes
     for(int i = 1; i <= entityParts.length; i++) {
         entityParts[i].setId(i + packet.getId());
     }
 }

This API also fixes two vanilla bugs:
