Hi, I have a TileEntity, but when it's created, it only loads from NBT on the server side (in singleplayer, but on the 1.3 integrated server). How can I sync it between server and client?

 

TileEntity: https://github.com/JackBeePee/ShadowCraft/blob/master/TEShadowCatcher.java (I want to sync the integer 'shadows')

Add these methods to your tile entity class.

 

    public Packet getAuxillaryInfoPacket()
    {
        NBTTagCompound tag = new NBTTagCompound();
        this.writeToNBT(tag);
        return new Packet132TileEntityData(this.xCoord, this.yCoord, this.zCoord, 1, tag);
    }
    
    public void onDataPacket(NetworkManager net, Packet132TileEntityData packet)
    {
    	NBTTagCompound tag = packet.customParam1;
        shadows = tag.getInteger("shadows");
    }

getAuxillaryInfoPacket is the old name for note, if you are updated it is something like getDescriptionPacket or so.  MCP changed it.
