I'm making a custom NPC where, under certain conditions, I need to draw the player as their small form and with a shader applied.
Player:render() seems like the way to go, but it doesn't replace the original sprite.

How do I stop the original sprite from being drawn?

You can do "player.frame = -50 * player.direction" in onTickEnd or onDraw to hide the vanilla player rendering.
Though you will need to pass a frame number in the player:render call because it uses the vanilla player frame by default.

It worked!
Also I needed to set frame anyway since I wanted a specific frame from a specific powerup.
