If I have found multiple bugs, I will create a separate report for each one.\n\n### 🗣️ Describe the bug\n\nWhen a locator is created as a use entity, the added locator and its Passengers are not deleted.\n\n### ⚠️ Error Message\n\n```javascript\n\n```\n\n### 🔄️ How to Reproduce\n\n1. Create a locator.\n2. Check the “Use Entity” box.\n3. Export the file and summon the model within Minecraft.\n4. Delete the summoned model using the appropriate method provided by animated_java (e.g., animated_java:\u003cPRJ\u003e/remove/all).\n5. Models with the “Use Entity” box checked remain undeleted.\n\n### ✅ Expected Behavior\n\nAll locators and their passengers will be deleted.\n\n### 💡 Solutions \u0026 Alternatives\n\nThis issue occurs because, even when “Use Entity” is enabled during locator creation, the process attempts to delete `animated_java:nautilus_bike/remove/zzz/this/as_data` by referencing the locator’s entity data. It then tries to call `animated_java:nautilus_bike/remove/zzz/this/kill_locator` from that data. However, since the `data` tag can only belong to marker entities, a recursive function should be used instead to delete the locator through another method.\n\n### 🟩 Minecraft Version\n\n1.20.4\n\n### 🟦 Blockbench Version\n\n4.12.6\n\n### 💻 Operating System\n\nWindows\n\n### 📃 Installed Blockbench Plugins\n\n- GeckoLib Animation Utils\n- CEM Template Loader\n- Bone View\n- Animation Sliders\n- Blockbench Plugins\n\n### ⛰️ Minecraft Environment\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/chore3","@type":"Person","name":"chore3"},"datePublished":"2025-10-04T22:55:36.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/455/animated-java/issues/455"}
