Spawn Egg BYID Redirect

**For users:** <p>Some mods may rely on things this mod does in the background to function properly. Just install it alongside any mod that requires it on both client and server.</p> <br> <p>Use Case: If a mod you have installed adds multiple spawn eggs for the same type of mob (i.e. for different variants), and one of the spawn eggs lost its color as a result, this mod may fix the color.</p> **Follow the link below and use code "JACKBUSTERS" at checkout for 25% off server hosting.** (https://www.bisecthosting.com/partners/custom-banners/ba99da02-fd57-4ccc-89a5-9a5bba0922d2.webp)](https://bisecthosting.com/jackbusters?r=BYID+Redirect+Modrinth) <br> **For Developers:** <p>This mod makes BY_ID#put() inside of the SpawnEggItem constructor call BY_ID#putIfAbsent() instead. While this change may seem minor, it makes a big difference when you want to have multiple spawn eggs with the same entity type (For instance, if you want spawn eggs which spawn variants).</p> <br> <p>A short tutorial on how to go about using this mod when adding something like a variant spawn egg:</p> <p>1) Create a new class extending SpawnEggItem (Mojang Official Mappings, extend whatever this is converted to the mappings of your choice).</p> <p>2) Create a public static ArrayList of type SpawnEggItem inside the class you created like so:</p> ``` public static final ArrayList<SpawnEggItem> EGGS = new ArrayList<>(); ``` <p>3) In your constructor, add the current instance to the ArrayList you created like so:</p> ``` super(entityType, i, j, properties); EGGS.add(this); ``` <p>4) Inside your ClientModInitializer, register the colors to your spawn eggs like so: ``` @Override public void onInitializeClient() { WolfVariantEgg.EGGS.forEach((egg) -> ColorProviderRegistry.ITEM.register((stack, tintIndex) -> egg.getColor(tintIndex), egg)); } ``` <br> <p>5) If you run the mod now you'll notice that your general spawn egg, not specified to a variant, will have lost its color. That's what this mod fixes without any extra work on your part so long as you didn't do anything to the BY_ID map. Most other work will probably be done by overriding the useOn method of SpawnEggItem. I won't be walking you through that one since it doesn't really pertain to this mod, but let me know if you run into any issues and I may try to help.
