[1.12.2] Advice for TileEntity that is only used for actions every tick [SOLVED]]

[TheTrollguy_]

Q: So I have this TileEntity that I only use to spawn particles every tick (yes, I do need it to be every tick) and I'm wondering since there's no other use for it, do I have to save its data.

Is it possible to just create a TileEntity when the block is loaded and not write TileEntity's data to Chunk?

It probably is but do I gain anything with it?

 

A: Nope. A TileEntity has to at least write down its basic information to exist after the world is loaded.

It isn't possible because when the game is loaded, the data is the only thing that makes the TE exist there after a reload of the world. So you need to at least have the default read and write anything else doesnt have to go there.

Makes sense, thanks!
