[1.16.5] How to sync player custom persistent data?

[RInventor7]

Hi! I add a value (e.g. 10) to player's custom persistent data variable and print it out. It's the same on server and client until I exit the world. If I reopen the game (or load the world) the value is still there on server, but on client it's 0. My TileEntity screen gets the value from the player and displays it. But it gets the value only on client which is not the correct value. How to sync this value/variable after I reopen the game/world?

I have tried to add a DataParameter to PlayerEntity and use the entityDataManager in the PlayerTickEvent function, but it crashed the game. It's probably not the right way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.

I think you need PlayerLoggedInEvent and send a packet to the client to synchronise data. Probably you also need to do this in PlayerChangedDimensionEvent and PlayerEvent.PlayerRespawnEvent.

It works. Thank you very much! I didn't think of that simple solution
