Hi, I'm not extremely familiar with the new registry system that has been introduced in 1.12. I'm attempting to figure out how I can get an instance of an Item from its registry name (i.e. "minecraft:torch")

 

It looks like in 1.7.10, you could call GameData.findItem(modid, name) however, I haven't been able to find anything from newer versions. I would think it's a part of the registry system, but I'm not sure how it would be done.

Item.REGISTRY.getObjectById(id)

Thank you

Is there a similar registry for entities? doesn't look like Entity class has an Entity.REGISTRY

ForgeRegistries.ENTITIES

 

I found that by looking at GameRegistry.registerModEntity and seeing what it called.

Thank you. Sorry, I haven't worked with entities so I didn't have any experience with methods involving them or I would have just looked there.

You can also use the @ObjectHolder injection system if you need to get a reference to an arbitrary block or item (or indeed anything that lives in a registry).  Example:

class MyClass {
  // If the block actually exists, Forge will inject its value into SOME_BLOCK
  // when block registration is done
  @ObjectHolder("somemod:someblock")
  public static final Block SOME_BLOCK = null;
  
  // later on, during the game...
  public void myMethod() {
    if (SOME_BLOCK != null) {
      // then it was registered and you can use it
      doStuffWith(SOME_BLOCK);
    }
  }
}
