[1.8] TileEntity that holds an Item won't render it after reloading world.

[Eternaldoom]

Hi,

 

I have a TileEntity that renders an item (similar to an ItemFrame). However, when I reload the world, the Item no longer renders. It is still held by the TE, and I can remove it and put it back (it renders after I do that), It just doesn't render. I figure that it isn't being sent to the client, and tileentities don't have DataWatchers like entities. Do I need to send a packet?

Assuming you already have the

writeToNBT

and the

readFromNBT

method, you only need to override the

getDescriptionMethod

to return a new

S35PacketUpdateTileEntity(x,y,z,3,tag)

with tag the a NBTTagCompound on which you called

writeToNBT

, and the

onDataPacket(NetworkManager,S35PacketUpdateTileEntity)

method in which you call the

readFromNBT

with

S35PacketUpdateTileEntity#func_148857_g()

Thanks, but it looks like onDataPacket is now hard coded into NetHandlerPlayClient. Maybe I'll write an FML pull request.

Oh nvm its part of forge. I'll just wait for it to update.
