[1.14.4] player capability side questions

[andGarrett]

There is a client side player entity and a server side player entity right? does this mean I could be attaching a capability to both? should I only be attaching to the server side one?

You can attach them to both by subscribing to AttachCapabilitiesEvent<Entity> and attaching to PlayerEntity. You'll need to send a packet for when the player clones to save and load the capability data on Clone event since this event is only called on server thread.

Depends on what you're doing.

 

Does the client need to know about it?

I'm not sure yet. I'm still deciding on how to implement something.
