I've implemented IEntityAdditionalSpawnData in my entity class but neither writeSpawnData nor readSpawnData ever seemed to be called?

 

@Override
public void writeSpawnData(PacketBuffer buf)
{
    buf.writeInt(test);
}

@Override
public void readSpawnData(PacketBuffer buf)
{
    test = buf.readInt();

 

No breakpoints are ever hit, nor is anything logged in the console if I try. Am I missing something?

IEntityAdditionalSpawnData only works if you use FMLs spawn packet (NetworkHooks.getEntitySpawningPacket).

 

Thanks, am I supposed to override Entity#createSpawnPacket with it? Like...

 

@Override
public IPacket<?> createSpawnPacket()
{
    return NetworkHooks.getEntitySpawningPacket(this);
}
