EntityLivingBase#addPotionEffect. You can't add a PotionEffect to an Entity since Entity objects can't have them in the first place. Only the descendants of EntityLivingBase may have potion effects.

I dont get the difference between the 2?

They are different classes. An EntityPig is a descendant of EntityLivingBase, but EntityItem or EntityArrow isn't.

That's peculier then because i am trying to add a effect to a creeper, which should be possible then right?

 

I have a creeper stored into a entity object, can i convert it to entitylivingbase somehow?

Well but i cant,

	@SubscribeEvent
	public void entitySpawned(EntityJoinWorldEvent event) {
		Entity entity = event.getEntity();
		if (MonsterConfig.isEnhancedMob(entity.getDisplayName().getUnformattedText()) && !entity.isDead)
		{
			//Add potion effect to entity here
		}
	}

 

This is my event currently, i have no idea how to convert the entity to a entitylivingbase.

No idea what that means, i already tried this:

EntityLivingBase entityLivingBase = (Entity) entity;

Well then you should probably learn java before starting to make mods. Otherwise you are trying to assemble a rocket without a guide.

EntityLivingBase entityLivingBase = EntityLivingBase.class.cast(entity);

 

This is still not the right way to cast things.

Hope your ego trip was fun

This is not about mine or anyoneelses ego. This is about you and your coding. If you don't know the language you are using you won't be able to do much. You will encounter issues you won't be able to solve because you don't know how, like right now. And you will come to this forum again asking a question that can be solved just by knowing the language. And we will have to tell you the same thing I am telling you right now - learn java before starting to mod. You WILL have issues.
