Disabling Entity Elements

Elements are only applied to inheritors of LivingEntity, as only living entities are able to take damage. As such, they are also the only entities who can have the Elements applied to them.

However, there may be instances where you extend LivingEntity but do not want them to have Elements applied on them. This can be easily done by calling the ElementComponent#denyElementsFor method and passing the class of the entity you want to disable Elements for.

This is done by both DendroCoreEntity and CrystallizeShardEntity:

java

public final class DendroCoreEntity extends SevenElementsEntity { 
	// ...

	static {
		ElementComponent.denyElementsFor(DendroCoreEntity.class);
	}

	// ...
}

java

public final class CrystallizeShardEntity extends SevenElementsEntity { 
	// ...

	static {
		ElementComponent.denyElementsFor(CrystallizeShardEntity.class);
	}

	// ...
}

Technically, you can pass SevenElementsEntity.class instead. However, that blocks all inheritors of SevenElementsEntity from having Elements applied to them. As such, always consider the possible inheritors of the entity class you are blocking Elements for.

If you decide to block Elements for an abstract entity class, decide in the future that only a specific inheritor should have elements, you need to unblock Elements for said abstract entity class and add calls to ElementComponent#denyElementsFor for all inheritors of the abstract entity class except the specific inheritor.
