I am currently working on a mod in 1.12.2 where I need to loop through a list of all loaded entities in the world.

The code works perfectly when running it in eclipse but as when I run it by itself in forge outside of the development environment I do not get any entities printed. I have ruled out it being an issue with sides because it works fine when running both the server and client in eclipse. Is there something I'm missing? 

 

Code:

FMLLog.log.info("Looking for entities... isRemote: %b", world.isRemote);
    for(Chunk c : ((WorldServer)this.world).getChunkProvider().getLoadedChunks()) {
        for(ClassInheritanceMultiMap<Entity> list : c.getEntityLists()) {
            if (!list.isEmpty()){
                for (Entity entity : list){
                    FMLLog.log.info(entity.getClass().toString());
                    // More code
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

 

In dev environment:

[19:56:46] [Server thread/INFO] [FML]: Looking for entities... isRemote: %b
[19:56:46] [Server thread/INFO] [FML]: class net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityVillager
[19:56:46] [Server thread/INFO] [FML]: class net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntitySquid
[19:56:46] [Server thread/INFO] [FML]: class net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntitySquid
...

 

Outside of dev environment: (only the one line)

[19:54:39] [Server thread/INFO] [FML]: Looking for entities... isRemote: false

Thanks!

I tried World#loadedEntityList  first but it had the same issue I have now. So then I switch to what I have now (I got the code from World#getEntitiesWithinAABB  and just removed the AABB code). I agree it is usually a bad idea but I basically need to update every villager. I can update all the ones not loaded by using when they load with EntityJoinWorldEvent but I need to update the ones already loaded.

You can attach IntelliJ’s debugger to non-development minecraft and debug it. Eclipse might have something similar

Thanks for the help both of y'all. Turns out I had the world object of a different dimension than the overworld and now that I changed that it is fixed.
