So I have an array of blocks in my registry class:

private static Block[] modBlocks = {
	ModBlocks.CAUTION_BLOCK,
	ModBlocks.WHITE_FLOOR_TILES,
	ModBlocks.GREY_FLOOR_TILES,
	ModBlocks.DARK_GREY_FLOOR_TILES,
	...
};

I then loop through it to register them all:

@SubscribeEvent
public static void blockRegistry(final RegistryEvent.Register<Block> e) {
	for(Block block : modBlocks) {
		e.getRegistry().register(block);
	}
}

I was wondering if there's a way to do this for tile entities, as they're a little more awkward. I'm using the @ObjectHolder to register things.
Thanks!

by the way, e.getRegistry.registerAll() exists.

Well, you don't register TEs, you register TE Types. So put those in an array. And yes, you'll probably need a helper function.

Write a helper function and put its return value into the array.

Ah, thanks!

Yeah, sorry, my bad. Typed the wrong thing.

Ok, cool! Will do!

Thanks!

Are you creating your blocks in static fields in your `ModBlocks` class?

Yes

 

Or use a DeferredRegister.

See the documentation on registries and registering objects.

Ignore the version difference, it's all the same in 1.15+ (except that its `DeferredRegister.create(...)`, not `new DeferredRegister(...)`)
