[1.8] Entity class from String.

I am trying to get Class<? extends EntityLivingBase> by String.

E.g: "Zombie" returns EntityZombie.class (from EntityList.class)

Is it just me, or am I looking in wrong place that I don't see getClassFromString method.

Method is either somewhere else or minecraft doesn't care about my feelings :C (Why u du dis ;_

Obviously I can just get public field.

public static final Map stringToClassMapping = Maps.newHashMap();

Just asking if there is no methods somewhere else for this?
