Feature request: Add a way to filter registry entries #2601
Description
Major SpongeAPI version
14
Is this likely to be a breaking change?
No
What are you requesting?
Datapacks allow to filter datapack registry entries via pack.mcmeta by their RegistryKey (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Pack.mcmeta).
So I think it would be nice to have ability to do the same with a plugin.
So that's the minimum of this request.
API 14 is a minimum version I see this feature could be implemented in because it will probably be a lifecycle registry event and they got updated a lot in API 14.
I also think the fact it's a plugin feature could allow to filter not only by registry key, but by the actual value as well.
Examplenary usage: Disable all vanilla recipes of the specific item.
Though I don't know what registries this should affect.
I guess it shouldn't allow to filter non-datapack vanilla registries because it will likely break a lot of things.
But should it affect custom registries? Maybe custom registries could declare if they want to be filtered?
I don't really feel like implementing it myself but would be happy if someone decides to so that's why it's a feature request.
