[1.16.1] How do I add new goals to vanilla entities?

[TheOnlyTails]

I've already tried adding it using an EntityJoinWorldEvent, but it didn't work (the goal was added, I checked).

AI tasks have a priority value and a "can run simultaneously" bitmask value. If your task has the same bits set as another take, but a lower priority (towards positive infinity, iirc) then it won't run.

So

Show your code.

@SubscribeEvent 
public static void onSheepJoinWorld(EntityJoinWorldEvent event) {
Entity entity = event.getEntity();
if (entity instanceof SheepEntity && !(entity instanceof RubySheepEntity)) {
	SheepEntity sheepEntity = (SheepEntity) entity;
    sheepEntity.goalSelector.addGoal(2, new BreedGoal(sheepEntity, 1.0f, RubySheepEntity.class));
    }
}

Here's the code for the event. The problem might be that I set the priority to be the same as the regular BreedGoal.

Probably. Which means that it is a lower priority than the regular BreedGoal because it's later in the task list.

You either:

(a) need to remove the original goal

(b) make your goal have a higher priority

I tried both, and both yielded the same result (as if nothing has changed).

Are you sure your event is being called?

Yes. I checked multiple times.
