[1.10.2] [SOLVED] Difference between Entity and EntityLiving?

[Differentiation]

Hey!

When I code living events I find that there are two entity getter methods. The first is event#getEntity and the second is event#getEntityLiving.

I know this might sound silly, but what is the difference between the two usages?

Thanks!

getEntity is inherited from EntityEvent into it's child classes. EntityLivingEvent adds getEntityLiving. They return the same object, but getEntityLiving has a more specific return type.

This could be solved more cleanly by just overriding getEntity and narrowing the return type, but it is not.

Solved.
