Solved Method to remove specific entity?

I am trying to remove all of a specific entity using a method (to make things easier):

Here is what I have tried:

Code:java

    public void removeEntityTypes(Entity entity) {
 
        for (Entity entities : Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("world").getEntities()) {
 
            if (entities instanceof Boat) {
 
                entities.remove();
 
            }
 
        }
 
    }

I have tried changing boat to what the entity is in the parenthasis (entity), and have got numerous errors. I have tried using EntityType instead of Entity and directly grabbing the entity class using org.bukkit.entity.Entity without any luck.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

This should work:

Code:java

//You don't need to add Entity entity into your void
        public void removeEntityTypes() {
            //Just use Bukkit.getWorld
            for (Entity entities : Bukkit.getWorld("world").getEntities()) {
                //getType() is more accurate
                if (entities.getType() == EntityType.BOAT) {
                    //Removing
                    entities.remove();
                }
            }
        }

 

2MBKindiegames I don't think that's what he actually wanted, I think he was just using boat as an example.

elementalgodz11 Either way, try this:

PHP:

    public void removeEntityTypes(EntityType type) {
        for(Entity ent : Bukkit.getWorld("world").getEntitiesByClass(type.getEntityClass())) {
            ent.remove();
        }
    }
   
    public void removeEntityTypes(Entity entity) {
        removeEntityTypes(entity.getType());
    }

Simply call the method with either the EntityType or an entity with the type you want to remove
