Hi,

I'm currently working on a block that stores it's orientation in a TileEntity (metadata hs not enough states). This is quite simple, I have two enum fields that store the orientation and save those with NBT.

public class TileEntityCablecarTrack extends TileEntity {
    private EnumFacingExtended first_end = EnumFacingExtended.NORTH;
    private EnumFacingExtended second_end = EnumFacingExtended.SOUTH;

    @Override
    public NBTTagCompound writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
        nbt.setInteger("first_end", first_end.getID());
        nbt.setInteger("second_end", second_end.getID());
        System.out.println("Serialize first_end: " + first_end + " second_end: " + second_end);
        return super.writeToNBT(nbt);
    }

    @Override
    public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
        super.readFromNBT(nbt);
        this.first_end = EnumFacingExtended.fromID(nbt.getInteger("first_end"));
        this.second_end = EnumFacingExtended.fromID(nbt.getInteger("second_end"));
        System.out.println("Deserialize first_end: " + first_end + " second_end: " + second_end);
    }
}

But this does not work for the client on load:

Why doesnt the client load these values correctly?

I'm not that good to explain it, but take a look at this post and all the answers, you will find what you need here:

 

Thanks, I solved the problem by overwriting getUpdateTag

@Override
public NBTTagCompound getUpdateTag()
{
    NBTTagCompound tag = super.getUpdateTag();
    this.writeToNBT(tag);
    return tag;
}

as I dont need dynamic behavior (yet) I do not use the other methods
