What's your suggestion?

Hello, i am currently in the middle of making my mod work with Epic Fights mod and i am wondering if there's any way to get the position and rotation of the head each frame.

I want a way to get access to this information so that i can make some head accessories (rendered in separate layers) follow the player's head position and rotation while its being modified by the combat mode animations.

Also sorry if this is not where i am supposed to post this.

Thank you in advance

When you can access LivingEntityPatch, you can try this to get the animated transform of a specific joint

In LivingEntityPatch.class:

Pose pose = this.animator.getPose(partialTicks);
OpenMatrix4f animationTransform = this.armature.getBindedTransformFor(pose, this.armature.searchJointByName("Head"));

Since you're using a layer to render your items, I recommend using PatchedLayer by calling the PatchedRenderersEvent.Modify event. It works exactly the same way how vanilla renderers handle the layers but with more parameters that you may need to render based on the animated model.

In PatchedLayer.class:

protected abstract void renderLayer(T entitypatch, E entityliving, @Nullable R vanillaLayer, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource buffer, int packedLight, OpenMatrix4f[] poses, float bob, float yRot, float xRot, float partialTicks);

Sorry for the late reply tho, If you have further questions please leave a message here
