How to write and read nbt data of particular entity?

[XBeast]

I have made an custom entity which extends entityzombie,

Now i want to spawn that entity with nbt data(setting nbt data before spawning) so that i can set different textures to entity in render class(dorender method) according to nbt of that particular entity.

I don't know how to do this... please help me...

What version of Minecraft are you working on?

First of all Thanks a lot to helping nooobie like me...

 

Minecraft 1.12.2

and forge Version 14.23.5.2768

 

 

And if you can guide me tell me hot to do so.

I made an custom spawn egg which has all data of entity like texture path and custom name of entity...

i am currently trying to spawn my custom entity using that custom egg but i don't know how to set all these attributes of custom entity individually?

@Override
	public EnumActionResult onItemUse(EntityPlayer player, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumHand hand,EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
		if(!worldIn.isRemote)
		{
			name = player.getHeldItem(hand).getTagCompound().getString("Name");
			NPC npc = new NPC(worldIn, name);
			npc.getEntityData().setString("Name", name);
			npc.setPosition(pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ());
			if(worldIn.spawnEntity(npc))
			{
				System.out.println(npc.getEntityData().getString("Name"));
				return EnumActionResult.SUCCESS;	
			}
			else
				return EnumActionResult.FAIL;
		}
		return EnumActionResult.FAIL;
	}

 

 

But this is printing name of that egg properly even i first setting it into entity and then accessing it...

That Means i should stop doing this and start modding in 1.14.4 Right?

 

is this as simple as 1.12.2 or its tedious?
