Help, NBT is not saving

[Nicba1010]

So...

I have one problem.

It is that while i am playing the nbt data is temporary saved, but when i exit it's deleted and i dont know why!

If you could help me that would be nice.

Here is the source: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7pj70z3mbbdde38/BAz6Zvq7Gw

Thank you!

I'm not an expert on NBT usage, but the only way I've ever used it to save Entity specific data is within the entities class methods read/writeEntityToNBT( nbt ). Also, it doesn't work on the client side. Forgive me if you understood this already, but in my example I use it like this in the class that stands for the entity's data you wish to save and recall.

 

 

I have updated it to show the full code of the Entity:

so can you tell me how to sync them please

[gff1979]

There are a few methods to sync them. My example uses datawatchers. If you are familiar with java you should be able to grok with my example.
