So I am using IExtendedEntityProperties for my mod, but I have a problem with it. When another player joins a LAN world for the first time, it won't call readFromNBT on it. However, if I join again after that it does get called. I have used IExtendedEntityProperties and never got a problem with this. So that's why I posted this here.

 

You can find the source code here: https://github.com/gegy1000/WarriorsMod/blob/master/src/main/java/net/gegy1000/warriors/common/data/WarriorCatData.java

 

And my Event:

https://github.com/gegy1000/WarriorsMod/blob/master/src/main/java/net/gegy1000/warriors/common/event/CommonEventHandler.java

Of course it won't call it. Since the player has never been on the server before there is no data from previous connections that could be read. This is not any different from normal servers.

Makes sense, ok. I will try think of another way to do this. Because as you can see in my read, I am getting a random name if it doesn't already have one... What event would I use if I wanted it to get called sometime after read is called?

Make a lazy getter. If the field is null, make a random name and store it. If it's not null, just return it.

Of course now you have to send a packet once the field is created.

Ok thanks, everything is working now!
