I used it for my dragon mob here, I once accidentally used the client version but it crashed the game on servers

Obviously don't do translations on a server since languages are a thing of the client.

so, do you have a replacement for it then?

net.minecraft.client.resources.I18n

thats exactly what i used and crashed the game on servers, i called it client version

There is no "server version" because the server isn't aware of translations being a thing. Translation only happens on the client.

There are still some Vanilla methods like Entity#getName that perform translation but aren't client-only. These use the deprecated net.minecraft.util.text.translation.I18n and I don't think there's any real alternative.

While that is true from what I can tell the server itself currently only keeps the english translation(or at least it exists within the server's jar, whether it actually collects the translation or not is something to debug). In general I assume that the best course of action is to not do translations on the server at all, since the deprecated I18n even at best would only perform the english translation. Return the unlocalized name for the client to translate on the server and perform the translation on the client. There is no need to use the deprecated class here, a proxy would suffice. It just seems like a logical way of approaching things to me.

so for example, different computers with different players playing minecraft can use different language  files

but i still use it for my dragons to classify each breed and return its name, would the dragons despawn without

return net.minecraft.util.text.translation.I18n.translateToLocal("entity." + entName + "." + breedName + ".name");
