[SOLVED] Getting a dimension ID from a World object [1.16.2]

[BlueMond 0]

I simply need to know one thing. How does one get the dimension ID from a World object/instance.

 

(Yes, I looked for this on google/the forums, but I could only find what seemed to be outdated methods of doing so)

Please clarify exactly what you need. The dimension system has been greatly reworked in 1.16.

Hmm, I thought that was clear. I need a way to compare world objects, to check if the two world objects being referenced are the same world. I tried to compare them directly, but it seems that they diverge at some point.  I thought comparing their dimension IDs would allow for more sound comparison. I'm doing this to create a World Tick Scheduler of sorts. The WorldTickEvent gives a world, but I'm assuming it has the potential to be any of the loaded dimensions, so I need to make sure it is the world that my timed process is executing in.

 

EDIT: When I say world object, I'm referring to an instance of the ServerWorld class.

Also, I'm from Spigot, so sorry if I'm confusing the functionality differences between Spigot and MCForge.

Yes, comparing two ServerWorld objects will always be different. There won't ever be two ServerWorld objects at the same time, both pointing to the nether.

I'm not sure what you're saying in that second part. Is it maybe the case that there is only one centralized ServerWorld object, and that the WorldTickEvent is NOT individually called by each dimension? I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding what the ServerWorld object is.

[diesieben07 7413]

WorldTickEvent is called for every (loaded) dimension.

And every (loaded) dimension has its own ServerWorld object.

Oh okay, then I'm still wondering how it is that I determine what dimension the in question ServerWorld object is for. By that I don't mean the dimension type, but the exact identifier specific to just one dimension, considering there can be multiple instance of the same dimension type in some cases.

World#func_234923_W_ gives you the RegistryKey<World>, which uniquely identifies a dimension.

Ah, thank you much. This will be helpful.

If you want to, you can put "solved" in the thread title, but otherwise no, because this is a forum, not Stack Overflow.

I've been on a few forums where they've had tags for titles, including "solved".
