Question World#setGameRule

[Xmark]

Goal: set given world's gamerule from a gamerule string (e.g. "doInsomnia")

Problem: return type of GameRule#getByName()

World#setGameRule() requires GameRule<T> as its rule parameter, but GameRule#getByName() provides GameRule<?>

the following code works, but the compiler complains:

String myGameRule = "doInsomnia";
boolean newValue = false;

GameRule gr = GameRule.getByName(myGameRule);
boolean success = getWorld().setGameRule(gr, newValue);

I can't use GameRule.DO_INSOMNIA because I'm getting the gamerule from a config file.

World#setGameRuleValue would in theory work since it takes String as both parameters, but it has be deprecated.

Any help would be appreciated

There's not really an elegant way to go about this. Check that the game rule you load from the config actually has a boolean as type and then cast it to GameRule<Boolean>.
