[TheRPGAdventurer 4]

My mob just won't regenerate health unless thrown with potions, how do I make it naturally regenerating health?

Override the update/updateEntity method and give it some health back every so often.

No Entity besides the Player and the Wither naturally regen as far as I know, so try those.

Can make your own with the EntityLivingUpdate Event and simply just use the Entity.Heal() command

I have various timers and the like in my mod attached via Capabilities so I can say "This entity can only heal after not being damaged fro 10 seconds"

Using the update event for your own entities is inefficient and not a good design choice.
