Hi there,

I want to save 2 BlockPos for a player. They don't need to be saved when leaving and reentering the world. I thought of adding a Capability to the player but then i have to save something as NBT. Is there an easier way to save 2 BlockPos for a player?

Thanks for the help.

I just need to save the 2 BlockPos on server side temporarily. But is this really the only/best way?

Yes I don't need to save the data. But how can I stop it from saving NBT data.

This is my provider class:

public class StructureDataProvider implements ICapabilitySerializable<NBTBase> {
	
	@CapabilityInject(IStructureData.class)
	public static final Capability<IStructureData> STRUCTURE_DATA = null;
	
	private IStructureData instance = STRUCTURE_DATA.getDefaultInstance();
	
	@Override
	public boolean hasCapability(Capability<?> capability, EnumFacing facing) {
		return capability == STRUCTURE_DATA;
	}
	
	@Override
	public <T> T getCapability(Capability<T> capability, EnumFacing facing) {
		return capability == STRUCTURE_DATA ? STRUCTURE_DATA.<T> cast(this.instance) : null;
	}
	
	@Override
	public NBTBase serializeNBT() {
		return STRUCTURE_DATA.getStorage().writeNBT(STRUCTURE_DATA, this.instance, null);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void deserializeNBT(NBTBase nbt) {
		STRUCTURE_DATA.getStorage().readNBT(STRUCTURE_DATA, this.instance, null, nbt);
	}
	
}

and this is my storage class:

public class StructureDataStorage implements IStorage<IStructureData> {

	@Override
	public NBTBase writeNBT(Capability<IStructureData> capability, IStructureData instance, EnumFacing side) {
		return new NBTTagInt(0);
	}

	@Override
	public void readNBT(Capability<IStructureData> capability, IStructureData instance, EnumFacing side, NBTBase nbt) {
		
	}

}

 

What i mean is that it now saves a NBTTagInt which is pointless because i don't use/need it. But I have to return a NBTBase. Can i change something to avoid this unnecessary data saving.

Oh ok. Sounds logical. Thank you!

One last question. Do i still need my storage class? Because i don't use it but i need to pass an instance of a storage class when registering my Capability.
