Hello

 

I'm trying to learn how to use NBT tags in order to store data on items, but I got stuck on one problem. Data is being stored and whatnot but it isn't stored in the instance of an item, but the item itself

 

@Override
	public ActionResult<ItemStack> onItemRightClick(World worldIn, EntityPlayer playerIn, EnumHand handIn)
    {
		if(playerIn.getActiveItemStack().getTagCompound()==null)
			playerIn.getActiveItemStack().setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
		if(playerIn.getActiveItemStack().getTagCompound().hasKey("TestVal")==false)
		{
			playerIn.getActiveItemStack().getTagCompound().setInteger("TestVal", 1);
		}
		
		int curVal = playerIn.getActiveItemStack().getTagCompound().getInteger("TestVal");
		playerIn.getActiveItemStack().getTagCompound().setInteger("TestVal", curVal+1);
		
		System.out.println(playerIn.getActiveItemStack().getTagCompound().getInteger("TestVal"));
		
        return super.onItemRightClick(worldIn, playerIn, handIn);
    }

 

Thanks! I found this information somewhere too, and i also found some helpful links for people that may also have this problem
