Looking for a useful method

[wind gyro]

what was the method that returned a list of all entities where you can give it a string for a filter like ingame with the @e[whatever] to get a list of mobs with certain conditions

iirc that doesn't exist anymore

use level.getEntities().filter()

the only method similar to what you're thinking of requires an AABB

[warm stratus]

i can't remember if it's just that or level.getEntities().getAll().filter()

[wind gyro]

was it part of kjs or mc?

[warm stratus]

kubejs

[wind gyro]

but then why was it removed ._.

[warm stratus]

not sure

[wind gyro]

who do i yell at

it was very useful

[warm stratus]

last time i remember that existing was in 1.18.2

[wind gyro]

this approach will comparatively tank performance....

[warm stratus]

not necessarily

if it was called on server and not level then that's a different story

but usually filtering through entities (even on level tick) shouldn't cause any performance drops

[wind gyro]

it would be level

hm

[warm stratus]

you could try this if you really want at most microscopic changes in performance

let entities = level.getAllEntities().iterator()
while (entities.hasNext()) {
    let entity = entities.next()
    // code
}

[wind gyro]

my concern for performance was just the iteration itself, going through all the mobs and checking xyz data about them

[warm stratus]

i do that a lot in my own code and it didn't make it any slower

minecraft itself even does it

[wind gyro]

i see i see

i'll stick with that then
