Is it possible to get all loaded entities in the registry (from all other mods) at runtime, to then be able to spawn in said entity within my mod? I feel it might be possible now, with how structured the registry events are in 1.14.

I am also trying to generate new entities at runtime based on this by using a builder pattern of sorts.

I've been doing some research. What are your thoughts on this method?

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void onRegisterEntities(final RegistryEvent.Register<EntityType<?>> event)
	{
		DeferredWorkQueue.runLater(() -> {
			entityBuilder(event);
		});
	}

	private static void entityBuilder(final RegistryEvent.Register<EntityType<?>> event)
	{
		ArrayList<EntityType<?>> all_entities;
		all_entities = (ArrayList<EntityType<?>>) event.getRegistry().getValues();

		Main.LOGGER.debug("ALL LOADED ENTITIES:");
		all_entities.forEach(p -> Main.LOGGER.debug(p));
	}

 

And will I be able to register new entities under new IDs using the methods within EntityType and ForgeRegistries.ENTITIES? (If I don't go with this method ^)

Well, that actually does not run. DeferredWorkQueue#runLater does not get called. 

So, creating new entity types based on other mods is impossible?

I want to expand my mod's features lots in 1.14.4. I want users to be able to specify mobIDs from other mods in JSON to initialise a new item, block and entity for the specified id. To do this, I need to be able to dynamically create these objects.

 

It would be perfect for my mod. You will be able to see that at a quick glance I think:

How would I achieve something like that roughly? Any suggestions / resources I can look into?

Ah, thanks. I will look into it further tomorrow morning. I have to head off to sleep, but hope I can get something working. Forge 1.14 is a rather large step in the right direction from what I've seen so far!
