[1.7.10] TileEntity doesn't seems to save data

Posted September 12, 201411 yr

hello guys,

I have made a noob version of a GUI, but the tileEntity is not saving the data.

Here is the tileentity code:

public class TileEntityMetalEnchanter extends TileEntity{
public MetalEnchanter enchanter;
public Item powder;
public int amountPowder;
public int amountIron;
public int ticksExisted;

public void updateEntity(){
	if(enchanter == null && worldObj.getBlock(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord) == EnderpowerBlocks.metalenchanter){
		enchanter = (MetalEnchanter) worldObj.getBlock(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
	if(enchanter != null && !worldObj.isRemote){
		if(enchanter.input_powder != null){
			if(enchanter.input_powder.stackSize < 1){
				enchanter.input_powder = null;
			}
		}
		if(enchanter.input_iron != null && amountIron > 0){
			if(enchanter.input_iron.stackSize == 0 && ticksExisted <= 5){
				enchanter.input_iron.stackSize = amountIron;
			}
		}
		if(enchanter.input_iron != null){
			if(enchanter.input_iron.stackSize > 0 || ticksExisted >= 5){
				amountIron = enchanter.input_iron.stackSize;
			}
		}
		if(enchanter.input_powder == null && amountPowder > 0 && ticksExisted < 5 && powder != null){
			enchanter.input_powder = new ItemStack(powder, amountPowder);
		}
		System.out.println("amountIron = " + amountIron);
		System.out.println(powder);
		System.out.println(amountPowder);
	}
	++ticksExisted;
}
public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt){
	super.writeToNBT(nbt);
	if(enchanter != null){
		if(enchanter.input_iron != null){
			if(enchanter.input_iron.stackSize > 0){
				nbt.setInteger("amountIron", enchanter.input_iron.stackSize);
			}
		}
		if(enchanter.input_powder != null){
			nbt.setInteger("amountPowder", enchanter.input_powder.stackSize);
			nbt.setInteger("itemPowder", Item.getIdFromItem(enchanter.input_powder.getItem()));
		}
	}
}
public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt){
	super.readFromNBT(nbt);
	amountIron = nbt.getInteger("amountIron");
	if(nbt.getInteger("itemPowder") != 0){
		powder = Item.getItemById(nbt.getInteger("itemPowder"));
		amountPowder = nbt.getInteger("amountPowder");
	}
}
}

Here is the block code:

Save all things in the TileEntity, nothing in the Block.

And if you want save more Stacks in there make a Container.

first:

I don't think you have readed the code good because everything is allready saved in the tileentity.

I didn't even find one for the block.

second:

What is the use of a container?

And It doesn't even seems it saves integers.

public class MetalEnchanter extends BlockContainer{

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public IIcon top;

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public IIcon bottom;

public ItemStack input_iron = new ItemStack(Items.iron_ingot, 0);

public ItemStack input_powder;

public ItemStack output;

You save there three ItemStacks.

And I think it would be easier to handle with the ItemStacks as with the Integer of the ItemStacks

Ooohhhh....

I thought you meant that writeNoNBT was in the block class.

I will try what you are saying.

I have rewritten it a little bit.

The ItemStacks are now saved on the tileentity.

But I have found another problem.

I have let the block and the tile entity print the value of the ironstack.

The tileEntity always says the stacksize = 0!

Does anybody know why?

Here is the new block class:

public class MetalEnchanter extends BlockContainer{
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon top;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon bottom;
    
    public TileEntityMetalEnchanter tileEntity;
    
public MetalEnchanter() {
	super(Material.rock);
	setHardness(5);
	setResistance(10);
}
@Override
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World world, int i) {
	tileEntity = new TileEntityMetalEnchanter();
	return tileEntity;
}
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIcon(int side, int metadata)
    {
	if(side == 0){
		return bottom;
	}
	if(side == 1){
		return top;
	}
	else {
		return blockIcon;
	}
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister icon)
    {
        this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon(R.T + "metalenchanter_side");
        this.bottom = icon.registerIcon(R.T + "metalenchanter_bottom");
        this.top = icon.registerIcon(R.T + "metalenchanter_top");
    }
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int x, int y,int z, EntityPlayer player, int side, float f1, float f2, float f3){
    	if(player.getCurrentEquippedItem() != null && !world.isRemote){
    		if(player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() == Items.iron_ingot && tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize < 64){
    			player.getCurrentEquippedItem().stackSize -= 1;
    			tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize += 1;
    		}
    		if(tileEntity.input_powder != null){
    			if(tileEntity.input_powder.stackSize < 64){
    				if(player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() == tileEntity.input_powder.getItem()){
    					player.getCurrentEquippedItem().stackSize -= 1;
    					tileEntity.input_powder.stackSize += 1;
    				}
    			}
    		}
    		else if(tileEntity.input_powder == null){
    			System.out.println("input_powder = null.");
    			if(isValidItem(player)){
    				tileEntity.input_powder = new ItemStack(player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem(), 1);
    				player.getCurrentEquippedItem().stackSize -= 1;
    			}
    		}
    	}
    	if(!world.isRemote){
    		System.out.println(tileEntity.input_iron);
    	}
	return true;
    }
    public void onBlockClicked(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player){
    	if(player.getCurrentEquippedItem() != null && !world.isRemote){
    		if(tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize > 0 && player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() == Items.iron_ingot){
    			player.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(new ItemStack(Items.iron_ingot));
    			tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize -= 1;
    		}
    		if(tileEntity.input_powder != null){
    			if(tileEntity.input_powder.getItem() == player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() && tileEntity.input_powder.stackSize > 0 && player.getCurrentEquippedItem().stackSize < 64){
    				tileEntity.input_powder.stackSize -= 1;
    				player.getCurrentEquippedItem().stackSize += 1;
    			}
    		}
    	}
    	else if(player.getCurrentEquippedItem() == null && !world.isRemote && tileEntity != null){
    		if(tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize > 0){
    			player.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(new ItemStack(Items.iron_ingot, tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize));
    			tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize = 0;
    		}
    		if(tileEntity.input_powder != null){
    			player.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(tileEntity.input_powder);
    			tileEntity.input_powder = null;
    		}
    	}
    }
    public void breakBlock(World world, int x, int y, int z, Block block, int metadata)
    {
    	if(tileEntity.input_iron.stackSize > 0){
    		world.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityItem(world, x, y, z, tileEntity.input_iron));
    	}
    	if(tileEntity.input_powder != null){
    		world.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityItem(world, x, y, z, tileEntity.input_powder));
    	}
    	if(tileEntity.output != null){
    		world.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityItem(world, x, y, z, tileEntity.output));
    	}
        super.breakBlock(world, x, y, z, block, metadata);
    }
    public boolean isValidItem(EntityPlayer player){
    	if(player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() == EnderpowerItems.cursedpowder || player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() == EnderpowerItems.poison || player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() == EnderpowerItems.witherpowder){
    		return true;
    	}
    	else {
    		return false;
    	}
    }
    @Override
    public void onBlockAdded(World world, int x, int y, int z){
    	if(world.getTileEntity(x, y, z) != null){
    		tileEntity = (TileEntityMetalEnchanter) world.getTileEntity(x, y, z);
    	}
    }

The tileEntity is shorter:

public class TileEntityMetalEnchanter extends TileEntity{
public MetalEnchanter enchanter;

public void updateEntity(){
	if(input_powder != null){
		if(input_powder.stackSize < 1){
			input_powder = null;
		}
	}
	if(output != null){
		if(output.stackSize < 1){
			output = null;
		}
	}
	if(!worldObj.isRemote){
		System.out.println(input_iron);
	}
}
public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt){
	super.writeToNBT(nbt);
	if(input_iron != null){
		nbt.setInteger("Iron", input_iron.stackSize);
	}
}
public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt){
	super.readFromNBT(nbt);
	input_iron = new ItemStack(Items.iron_ingot, nbt.getInteger("Iron"));
}

    public ItemStack input_iron = new ItemStack(Items.iron_ingot, 0);
    public ItemStack input_powder;
    public ItemStack output;
    
}

EDIT:

I have found the problem.

The block wasn't connected with the tileEntity but it looked like it was.

Now the connection is good, saving the data is easy.

(((SOLVED))) Loading into certain worlds stuck on "Reading world data" then stops responding.

So, I tried this, and the world did load, but ALL of the modded items and things I had completely disappeared, as well as many unmodded things like my chests and items I was carrying. Any solutions?

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)
