BiomeDictionary.Type.byName is private, BiomeDictionary.Type.getType has a side effect of creating a new Type if it doesn't already exist. My goal is to iterate through the registered types, because I'm serializing/deserializing which to use by name. Is there another way for me to do this? Should I cheat and use reflection?

 

It shouldn't matter to this post, but here's an example of what I'm deserializing (the serializer already works, and deserializing works except for the biome type list):

{
	"block": "souls:fossil_frozen",
	"replace": "minecraft:dirt",
	"biome_types": ["frozen"],
	"chances": 300,
	"size": {
		"min": 3.0,
		"max": 7.0
	},
	"height": {
		"min": 0.0,
		"max": 255.0
	}
}

If you suscribe to the biome registry event, you can use event.getRegistry().getKeys() to get a set of all the biomes.

 

For example I just tried it and simply printed the result to the console and got:

[18:15:49] [main/INFO] [STDOUT]: [com.blogspot.jabelarminecraft.examplemod.init.ModBiomes$RegistrationHandler:onEvent:64]: Registry key set = [minecraft:ocean, minecraft:plains, minecraft:desert, minecraft:extreme_hills, minecraft:forest, minecraft:taiga, minecraft:swampland, minecraft:river, minecraft:hell, minecraft:sky, minecraft:frozen_ocean, minecraft:frozen_river, minecraft:ice_flats, minecraft:ice_mountains, minecraft:mushroom_island, minecraft:mushroom_island_shore, minecraft:beaches, minecraft:desert_hills, minecraft:forest_hills, minecraft:taiga_hills, minecraft:smaller_extreme_hills, minecraft:jungle, minecraft:jungle_hills, minecraft:jungle_edge, minecraft:deep_ocean, minecraft:stone_beach, minecraft:cold_beach, minecraft:birch_forest, minecraft:birch_forest_hills, minecraft:roofed_forest, minecraft:taiga_cold, minecraft:taiga_cold_hills, minecraft:redwood_taiga, minecraft:redwood_taiga_hills, minecraft:extreme_hills_with_trees, minecraft:savanna, minecraft:savanna_rock, minecraft:mesa, minecraft:mesa_rock, minecraft:mesa_clear_rock, minecraft:void, minecraft:mutated_plains, minecraft:mutated_desert, minecraft:mutated_extreme_hills, minecraft:mutated_forest, minecraft:mutated_taiga, minecraft:mutated_swampland, minecraft:mutated_ice_flats, minecraft:mutated_jungle, minecraft:mutated_jungle_edge, minecraft:mutated_birch_forest, minecraft:mutated_birch_forest_hills, minecraft:mutated_roofed_forest, minecraft:mutated_taiga_cold, minecraft:mutated_redwood_taiga, minecraft:mutated_redwood_taiga_hills, minecraft:mutated_extreme_hills_with_trees, minecraft:mutated_savanna, minecraft:mutated_savanna_rock, minecraft:mutated_mesa, minecraft:mutated_mesa_rock, minecraft:mutated_mesa_clear_rock]

If you're interested in the type rather than the biomes itself, you could just iterate through the registered biomes and grab all the unique types and build up a list that way.
