I dont understand what you mean, all I want to do is have my mod create a .dat file and then read and parse values from said file

ok, let me explain that its not a custom mob its a client-side only mod that tracks the kills of a mob with a certain nametag on a server

its a specific custom mob

Im making a mod that tracks kills of a certain mob and I created a screen overlay to display the value (not necessarily relevant) I want the values to be saved when the game is closed. I want to do this by creating and using a .dat file. how would I get the values from the file and how would I save the file?
