Player persistent NBT

[Briggybros]

Hello, I know it's possible to set a custom NBT tag using IExtendedEntityProperties to persist through respawn etc. How would this be achieved? Actually setting the tag to be persistent instead of resetting on death..

One way I've seen and used is to store the IExtendedEntityProperty data temporarily outside of the player when the player dies, then reload it when the player rejoins.

 

There is also PERSISTED_NBT_TAG (I think that's what it's called, I don't have Eclipse handy at the moment) in EntityPlayer, but I haven't been able to use that successfully yet.

 

Check here for a working example: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1952901-eventhandler-and-iextendedentityproperties/#entry24051513

Yes, I was looking into that tag, I don't know how to use it though..

The persistent tag is used on the entity nbt, which is returned by getEntityData().

This is the only part of the NBT that will be kept by Minecraft on respawn.

Data from IExtendedProperty is copied for loading and changing dimension, but not on respawn.
