Solved Is there a way to get an entity from its unique id?

For players you can do getPlayer(UUID) is there a way to do this for mobs? If not I'll just store the LivingEntity object I guess but I was wondering if a similar method existed.

 

rippin you would have to loop over all entities and compare UUIDs (which Bukkit does behind the scenes for players). Also if you want to store Entities, make sure you use weak referencing (I can suggest a data type depending on your structure). Especially since cleanup is not always possible due to missing entity events (like despawning because there is no player nearby)

 

Yeah I was just wondering if it existed. I probably will still store the UUID just to be safe and loop through all the entities to check if it still exist . Thanks though.
