[1.8] Where is code responsible for sending ItemStacks to clients?

[Ernio]

Question in title.

 

I want to save something quite big inside NBT of ItemStack. Since feature will be used extensively and data saved will be TOTALLY useless on client I thought I could cut NBT of ItemStacks which are instanceof my Item before sending them to clients.

 

Where that happens?

Loud thinking: This will probably break everything as CreativeInventory allows client to override server ItemStacks, ay?

 

EDIT

Goal is to save huge-ass amount of bandwidth.

Well, looking at it now, I am sad (adding to TODO list in future optimization updates).

 

Since I'll be left with what vanilla gives me - when I should be concerned about ItemStack's NBT size?

If I'd be about to put X number of Longs into NBT, how much (X) could become a problem?

Consider that my Items might even fill full inventory, chests and basically are everywhere. (are common)

 

Note: Yeah I know it might be dumb question

"Stupidly large" but not "

ly large."

I recall someone having an issue with too much NBT data on an item before, but it was an amount measuring in MB.

Man, Spaceballs came out in 1987.  I didn't see it until I was in college (post 2005).
