1.16.1 Deferred Register

[Eractnod]

In 1.15.2 I used DeferredRegister to register all my blocks and items.  In 1.16.1, DeferredRegister is private.  Is this an error and if no, then what is the preferred method to register blocks and items in 1.16.1?

public static final DeferredRegister<Block> BLOCKS = new DeferredRegister<>(ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS, MODID);

DeferredRegister#create, check out the documentation in the source file next time.

Looked at the code, and the example in the Java Docs was not updated to reflect how to use 'create', went back to earlier version 1.15.2 for further work. Waiting on an example.

Didn't see any documentation on the change from public to private of this Constructor. 

Perhaps you can provide an example of how to use this 'create'

It takes the same parameters as the way it worked before, except instead of creating a new instance of the class via new, you use the static create method.

Thanks all.  Was very helpful.  I changed it to this.

private static final DeferredRegister<Block> BLOCKS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS, MODID);

Everything else stayed the same as before.

This is 1000% wrong. Don't create your items statically like this, this is why DeferredRegister exists, because you people won't stop doing this.

I do use deferred registries now, im not a you people though. I simply provided a working solution and stated it was NOT the best way to do so. I apologize for not editing my post out sooner when an example was provided.
