Posted July 15, 20169 yr Does the interface INBTSerializable<T extends NBTBase> obsoletes Entity#readFromNBT and Entity#writeToNBT?
July 15, 20169 yr Author Ok, so just to see if I understood you correctly, we no longer need to implement readFromNBT and writeToNBT , as long as we implement INBTSerializable?
July 15, 20169 yr When you extend a vanilla class, you need to override the vanilla NBT methods. When you create your own class that can be written to NBT, just implement INBTSerializable . Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.
July 15, 20169 yr ...which will then probably make you write writeToNBT and readFromNBT methods. (Protip: an interface never lets you avoid implementing something) Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
July 15, 20169 yr For calling: Yes. INBTSerializable is just a way to interact with different kinds of serializable things (TEs, Entities, ItemStacks, etc. etc.) through one interface. this is the exact reason it was made, to allow you to serialize ANYTHING with a single interface instead of having to specialcase every type of item. I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
