Saving and restoring Tile Entity (1.16)

[SiniKraft]

Hello !

I want to store a BlockState with his Tile Entity into playerdata.

I managed to save BlockState per Player, but the TileEntity is not included in the BlockState

Can I include A TileEntity in a BlockState ?

If not, how can I separately save a TileEntity and restore it after ??

Thanks in advance

Not quite sure what exactly you want to do, but I would save a block pos instead of those.

Hello ! Thanks for your reply !

Now I want to know how I can convert a Container in a String.

Thanks !!!

My goal is to make an item which store a block and all its data into an item.

So that after you can restore this block in another place, with exactly the same data in it (direction, container, tags, ...)

This is what I want to do.

(PS: I wanted to convert all to string to put them easily on item tags)

How can I do that ??

Thanks for your help !

Thanks for your reply !!

I think I'm wrong, but i cannot see TileEntity#save or loadStatic.

I don't know if I am right, but It seems that TileEntity doesn't contain the Container.

And.. It must be a stupid question, but, how do I put this Nbt data to the item ??

Thanks a lot

Thanks for your reply.

TileEntity.write() takes a CompoundNBT as first argument ? What I need to put in ?

Or do I need to use getTileData() ??

Thanks!

Ok, I succeeded in saving TileEntity to item.

BUT, when I'm trying to restore ...

Here i'm trying to get Blockstate from save data in item.

bs = NBTUtil.readBlockState(nbt.get("bs"));

but I got error

error: incompatible types: net.minecraft.nbt.INBT cannot be converted to net.minecraft.nbt.CompoundNBT

It's strange because it can convert a CompoundNBT to INBT without any problems, but how can I do to INBT -> CompoundNBT ?

Thanks!

Learn basic Java.

I know you can't convert for example double a; to int without (int).

Of course I asked you a way to get it as CompoundTag.

Thanks to your response, my code did compile 😮

But when trying to restore a block with its tile entity, items are not replaced !!

I tried with a furnace, for example.

I've put things to burn in it.

I stored the furnace into my item, and placed back after.

The new furnace was still burning (lit=true) but the items inside it disappears !!

How can I fix that ??

Thank you ! 😁
