createEntityByIDFromName error 1.12.2

[richie995 0]

I'm porting a mod from 1.10.2 to 1.12.2 and have received the following error NAME_TO_CLASS cannot be resolved or is not a field for the code

 

 

 

Spoiler

public void modifyDrops(final MobDropsInfo mobDrops) {
        if (!mobDrops.theEntity.world.isRemote) {
            int count = FileHelper.getCount(this.counts);
            while (count-- > 0) {
                final Entity entity = EntityList.NAME_TO_CLASS.(this.entityId, mobDrops.theEntity.world);
                if (entity == null) {
                    return;
                }
                this.initEntity(mobDrops.theEntity, entity, mobDrops);
                mobDrops.theEntity.world.spawnEntity(entity);

I know that NAME_TO_Class needs to be changed. I believe that it could be changed to createEntityByIDFromName, or getClassfromName, and these are suggestions I get when testing. However, When I switch to them it says I need a resource location, which I'm not sure how to create, fix, or what it means. This is one only a few errors left in the port, and would really appreciate a solution.

You should probably understand what that code is doing, and then port it differently. Without knowing what entitiyId or mobDrops.theEntity is, getClassFromName seems like the right replacement
