Hello,

I have a custom Item which needs to be synced with the client. To do that I have looked up several threads and they suggested to override getNBTShareTag.

But when I try to use it in the addInformation method the stack never has the values which are in getNBTShareTag.

Item class:

public class BasicBow extends Item {

    @Override
    public void addInformation(ItemStack stack, @Nullable World worldIn, List<String> tooltip, ITooltipFlag flagIn) {
		if(stack.hasTagCompound()) {
            System.out.println(stack.getTagCompound().hasKey("test"));
        }

        System.out.println(getNBTShareTag(stack).hasKey("test"));
    }

    @Override
    public boolean getShareTag() {
        return true;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public NBTTagCompound getNBTShareTag(ItemStack stack) {
        NBTTagCompound tag = super.getNBTShareTag(stack);

        if(tag == null) {
            tag = new NBTTagCompound();
        }

        tag.setString("test","Hello world");
        return tag;
    }
}

But the "test" key specified in getNBTShareTag is always empty in addInformation.

I hope you can help me.

Add [Solved]  to the title. For people in the future, how did you solve your issue?

Btw 1.12.2 is no longer supported on this forum due to its age.

Sorry. I was stupid and did override getNBTShareTag in a class that extends BasicBow.
