Interface BlockEntityClientSerializable

public interface BlockEntityClientSerializable

Implement this interface on a BlockEntity which you would like to be synchronized with the client side using the built-in engine methods.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	fromClientTag(net.minecraft.nbt.CompoundTag tag)
default void	sync() When called on the server, schedules a BlockEntity sync to client.
net.minecraft.nbt.CompoundTag	toClientTag(net.minecraft.nbt.CompoundTag tag)

Method Detail

fromClientTag

void fromClientTag(net.minecraft.nbt.CompoundTag tag)

toClientTag

net.minecraft.nbt.CompoundTag toClientTag(net.minecraft.nbt.CompoundTag tag)

sync

default void sync()

When called on the server, schedules a BlockEntity sync to client. This will cause toClientTag(CompoundTag) to be called on the server to generate the packet data, and then fromClientTag(CompoundTag) on the client to decode that data.

This is preferable to World.updateListeners(net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos, net.minecraft.block.BlockState, net.minecraft.block.BlockState, int) because it does not cause entities to update their pathing as a side effect.
