Accessing Minecraft Registry Items in 1.18

[Reyzerbit]

Hello!

 

I am currently porting a mod from 1.16 to 1.18, and have run into an issue.

Originally in 1.16, Minecraft registry items could be referenced and found from within the registry using their Registry name, per the method 

Registry.ITEM.getOrDefault(new ResourceLocation(registryNameString));

After 1.17 however, these registries were wrapped into ResourceKeys and the original Registries were deprecated.

With this port, I am looking to compare an item from the Items class (i.e. Items.AIR) with a RegistryName stored in a config, essentially trying to verify if the RegistryName pulled from the config is AIR or not.

The following code was what was previously used:

for (String s : ClientConfig.items.get()) {

	Item item = Registry.ITEM_REGISTRY.getOrDefault(new ResourceLocation(s));
	if (item == Items.AIR) {

		System.out.println(s + " not found");

	} else {

		cache.add(item);

	}

}

The cache object being a set of Items (Set<Item>)  and every String s being a different RegistryName pulled (as a String) from the config.

 

If there is a new/better way to run this comparison, please let me know. Otherwise, I would appreciate some help understanding the new way to reference Minecraft registry items from the ResourceKey<Registry<Item>> object.

 

Thanks in advance!

The purpose of the config is to allow users to change which items they want this mod to apply to... is there a good way to apply a tag to only the items listed in the config?

I appreciate your pointers but in this case I want the config to be where the options can be adjusted, not through data packs, plus it is a client side only mod. I appreciate your help regardless, especially by pointing me to the forge registries. Thank you!
