[Solved] Store reference to mob in NBT

[JustMeFlex]

I want to store a reference to a specific mob in  the NBT compound associated with a tileentity. I'm almost certain entities have a unique ID of sorts but I couldn't quite figure it out.

 

How would I store and load a reference to a mob in the NBT?

You should be able to figure all out by looking through Entity (net.minecraft.entity) class.

but if you want to associate a mob to a TileEntity, wouldn't be easier just to create a new one when TileEntity is loaded? That way you could just store some parameters in the TileEntity NBT and create new Entity with this parameters on load.

You're right. I can just create a new mob whenever needed and set it's properties using the TileEntity.

I feel silly now

 

Thanks
