public interface TileState
extends BlockState, PersistentDataHolder

Represents a block state that also hosts a tile entity at the given location. This interface alone is merely a marker that does not provide any data. Data about the tile entities is provided by the respective interface for each tile entity type. After modifying the data provided by a TileState, BlockState.update() needs to be called to store the data.

Method Details

getPersistentDataContainer

@NotNull
@NotNull PersistentDataContainer getPersistentDataContainer()

Returns a custom tag container capable of storing tags on the object. Note that the tags stored on this container are all stored under their own custom namespace therefore modifying default tags using this PersistentDataHolder is impossible.

This PersistentDataHolder is only linked to the snapshot instance stored by the BlockState. When storing changes on the PersistentDataHolder, the updated content will only be applied to the actual tile entity after one of the BlockState.update() methods is called.

Specified by:

getPersistentDataContainer in interface PersistentDataHolder

Returns:

the custom tag container

isSnapshot

boolean isSnapshot()

Checks if this TileState is a snapshot or a live representation of the underlying tile entity.

NOTE: You may still have to call BlockState.update() on live representations to update any visuals on the block.

Returns:

true if this is a snapshot
