Hi! Is there an event that fires when a biter despawns? (or when it is removed from the world in any other way.) I need it to remove the biter from some list in my mod.
Currently I listen for on_entity_died (with type unit), but I don't think that event is fired in this case. Should I instead use register_on_entity_destroyed and listen for on_entity_destroyed or does that also not fire here?

Pretty sure that register_on_entity_destroyed + on_entity_destroyed is the way to go here.

I think you might be right after all, I thought it didn't fire but maybe it does. Do you know any way to reproduce, i.e. get biters to despawn?

EDIT: I waited along on a group of biters without spawner and eventually they all despawned, indeed firing on_entity_destroyed (but not on_entity_died).
