  • Method Details

    • fromClientTag

      void fromClientTag​(net.minecraft.nbt.NbtCompound tag)

    • toClientTag

      net.minecraft.nbt.NbtCompound toClientTag​(net.minecraft.nbt.NbtCompound tag)

    • sync

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