I'm using nbt tags to create a cooldown for an item I made. It works fine in singleplayer when I was getting the minecraft instance and grabbing the world time from there, but obviously that doesn't work on servers. Is there a simple way I can use server side to get the world an item's holder is in?

Just for reference: This does not work in singleplayer either.

 

Every entity has a world reference: Entity#world.

It does work in singleplayer as I've been using it. It's gone this long without being reported because I hadn't used it on a server. How can I get an entity from an item's class?

No, it does not. It will crash eventually, since you are reaching across logical sides.

 

You don't, at least not with a blanket statement like that. Methods that are player-related will get the player passed as a parameter.

"It works" as in it functions without immediately crashing. Obviously I'm trying to fix it, so let's stay on topic. The methods for saving and loading nbt don't accept a player as a parameter, and that's where my issue is, as I need those methods to be completely server side, so I can't grab the world from the client to check the time. 

I wound up fixing it by making a couple of methods to call from the right click method. Thank you for the help
