Mendelian genetics in Forge 1.20.1
I need to create a framework called GeneticMob as a mixin to Animal.class in Forge 1.20.1. I then want to create mixins for individual animals that extend GeneticMob. An example would be PigMixin that extends GeneticMob.
GeneticMob should provide common methods like getMainGene, getHiddenGene, etc. But these classes rely on enums called Gene that are specific to each animal. Is there a way for me to tell GeneticMob that there will be an enum called Gene so the compiler will let me work with it before its created?
My overall idea is to create a system that lets me easily give other mobs mendelian genetics like the Panda has. If there is a better way of doing this I'm all ears.

did you think of implementing an interface
An interface wouldn't let me actually write code in it.
I'd have to write the code for each individual entity every time for each method regardless of whether that method should be the same for every entity
why
can you elaborate a bit
Well any entity I want to make into a genetic mob would need a getMainGene method and a getHiddenGene method. Both of these would just be getting the entities main and hidden gene which would be fields on every entity that has genetics implemented. An interface would make me write both methods out for every entity
if i understand it right you want to get the field of the entity for the methods right
you could use reflection for that
in the interface
if im reading it right
