Player NBT Tag 1.12.2

[poopoodice]

I am finding a way to set nbt tag to players. But only found how to create and use capabilities on players not nbt tags. 

The thing I want to do is when the player with a specific armor equipped, the player's nbt tag will be set to a value in the armor class onArmorTick. And the other class can check the nbt tag on the player and do correspond things. Any reply will be appreciated.

Alright so I used player.getEntityData().setString(key, value) in onArmorTick method. the thing next is to read the nbt tag. Ive create a handler class that handles events, do you know which event should I use and how so I can do things after reading the tags

That's what you use a Capability for...NBT is only used to save data to the disk. It shouldn't be used to store and access values.

Don't do this. Attach a capability to the player to store the data you want on the player. Then use EntityPlayer#getCapability to get your capability instance and modify and access the data from there.

Even if the data I wanted to store is just string? I don't want things to get too complicated.
