I am trying to store the player that placed down the block as soon as it gets placed down so whenever a player interacts with the block it will check if that player is the owner or not. Is there anyway to add data to the Block Entity and have it saved in that block to be checked whenever anyone interacts with it?

You can use a Capability, take a look at this FCW page for more infos

I looked at it for a while and I tried to implement it but it cant figure out how to get it to work. Is there anyway you can give me an example of how I can do this with Capabilities? It would be greatly appreciated.

You only need a capability if you want to do it for other people's block entities.

 

If its your BlockEntity, you can just store the player's UUID in your block entity

You can see how ConduitBlockEntity does this to remember its "destroy target".

For actually changing the data in your block entity at placement see something like: AbstractBannerBlock.setPlacedBy()

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

Yes I am trying to set the data in my BlockEntity. I am trying to store the players UUID in my block Entity on place. Is it just as simple as setting a variable in that block entity to the players uuid or is there more too it? If you could show an example i would love that.

Yes.

You also need to load/save it, see the Conduit block. That's why you use the UUID, you can store that in NBT.

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
