Entity Exporter
by Qdeeme
Entity Exporter, a Fabric utility, lets a server owner or tester list every registered entity from a single command, grouped by category.
What it does
Entity Exporter adds eight commands to the game. They show the entities in the registry in chat, or write them to a structured JSON file. The export command creates a new file and stops if a file with that name already exists, so earlier output is kept. Each entity is listed in a separate group, which makes the output easier to read than a raw dump.
The mod suits modpack creators, developers and testers who want to check what is in the registry without searching through configs or code. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. The exporter does not change any entity; it only reads the registry.
Installation requires Fabric API. Builds exist for Fabric across 16 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.20+1.21.8 for 1.21.8, published 2025-08-27. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Single-command listing
One command prints the registered entities in chat, so the full list is available without opening any file.
Structured JSON export
The export writes a clean structured.json file with each entity placed into its own category group.
Category view
A category view shows the entities sorted by group, so a long registry can be scanned quickly.
Read-only registry access
The mod reads the entity registry and leaves every entity unchanged, so existing worlds are not affected.
Eight commands
The mod adds eight commands covering chat output, file export and the category views.
