Solved Mob Info?

Is there any way to put meta-data or tags or somthing on a mob?

 

To give metadata to an entity:

Code:java

entity.setMetadata("myMetadata", new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, object));

To retrieve metadata:

Code:java

String value = null;
for(MetadataValue v : entity.getMetadata("myMetadata")){
value = v.asString();
}

The meta data is not staying after a server restart.

Is there a way to make it save over restarts?

 

Elimnator Save the data to a Collection or Map, save the Collection or Map to a file on plugin disable, reload from file on server start and re-apply metadata?

 

A mob will also not necessarily be there after restart, they could despawn. Metadata is temporary, if you want persistence over restarts you'll need to save to the disk, then check when creatures are spawned back in to see when to apply the data again.

Yah, I just saved the UUID with the tag in a file.
