(SOLVED) [1.16.4] Saving Block data doesn't work with TileEntity, but does when Container uses the TileEntity

[IntentScarab]

Hello,

The title is a bit confusing, I know, but I'll explain more here.

I've been following MinecraftByExample's tutorial on a Furnace type block, since that is how my block kind of works. It has an object that holds the information about the block such as time, and what I have been using it for, experience points. Now I have this block that holds exp and has two inputs, an output, and four buttons. The buttons are working and doing what I want; when I click a button, the Container deals with the logic then sends the updated data to the TileEntity for it to be changed. I originally had everything the button does on the Container, but it wasn't saving the data when I closed the gui so I hope this is the way things are supposed to be.

Now that was all working, I got my recipe serializer working for the block, but before I worked on the recipe i/o, I wanted to work on the other input which is for my exp book, and it takes the exp from the book and transfers it to the actual block. I have worked through the logic for this specific area and it seems good, however it doesn't actually save the updated exp amount to the block.

I have stepped through with a debugger and I can see the exp being removed, and the block exp is increasing, but when I continue the program then the exp bar I have for the block hasn't increased and there isn't anything in the block afterall. Buttons work however.

 

TLDR: Input slot for custom item gets it's exp amount removed and passed over to the exp block, exp block doesn't save the amount. Buttons work however, even though both the buttons and BookInput slot basically go through the same hoops.

Thank you in advance! Hopefully I didn't do/say anything too dumb.

when I click a button, the Container deals with the logic then sends the updated data to the TileEntity for it to be changed. I originally had everything the button does on the Container, but it wasn't saving the data when I closed the gui so I hope this is the way things are supposed to be.

Shocker, the server controls game state. Doing things on the client means the server sends an update and overwrites the client's changed values making it look like "it didn't save."

Of course it didn't save, you didn't tell the server fuckall.

[IntentScarab]

TIL, and that's on me for being thoughtless on that part. Though I think I fixed that. If I'm making changes on the server only then why doesn't it "save" the changes?

[Draco18s]

Gui Screens are never on the server. As emphasized by the fact that the Screen class is in the client namespace.

[IntentScarab]

Is the TileEntity on the Server or Client side? Cause that's what I'm using here. I am making changes to an object that holds the data I need, kinda like how MBE does it. But I'm doing this through the tick method of the Tile. I look at the debugger and it says that the object has the amount of exp from the book, book has none, then when I try to get the exp out of the block using the buttons then it tells me I haven't got any exp in the block. Am I missing something here?

A tile entity will exist on both server and client.

Ahh okay, so it's server side usually but when the gui is opened it's client side, I'm guessing? I'm sorry, but I still don't understand how changing the data on the TE by the TE doesn't result in any change with the data. I'm reading through the code from MBE and there isn't something super obvious that I'm missing...

The only big change is that I pass my tile to the container, and they don't markDirty after modifying their furnaceStateData; they only do it on items being moved from one slot to the other from what I can see.

This is the MBE topic I'm using as reference btw.

 

[IntentScarab]

That worked!! One simple line and it worked. The update to the block state is in MBE, but I didn't think it pertained to me cause it was dealing with the faces of the block with fuel burning. Omg thank you so much.

Here, since I have you could I have some help on the same sort of problem? The item I have uses the durability bar to show how full it is, when it is getting the exp taken out of it the bar doesn't update. How would I update the durability bar of the item to go down as the amount decreases? Right now I have to right click on it and it tells me it is empty.

[IntentScarab]

For future reference, this is the code I added to make it work:

BlockState state = world.getBlockState(this.pos);
world.notifyBlockUpdate(this.pos, state, state, 2);

I added this to the end of my tick() method and it works.
