Ep10. Custom Items & Persistent Metadata - Minecraft Plugin Development

Create any item with custom name, lore, enchants, glowing effect, or any other property and use invisible "metadata" called persistent data container added in Minecraft 1.14+ to mark your item and connect it with custom behavior in the game.
Even after /reload or restart, persistent containers will keep your invisible tag data and do not require NMS, making it very easy to save custom invisible data to tile blocks, entities, signs, furnaces or even items.

👋🏼 About Me
Hi! My name is Matej Pacan and I'm a Minecraft developer since 2013.
I'm the author of plugins like ChatControl, Boss, CoreArena which got over 700,000+ downloads, my own Minecraft network attracted 30,000+ players and I taught 2,000+ people how to do the same by creating MineAcademy.org training programs.
My only hope is that one day some of you will learn enough from my videos to see an exciting opportunity in the IT space and build a Minecraft server and ultimately a life you love.

Hi can you make a video where you explain how to run the server directly into intellij?

Cool man

[@RitaTheCuteFox]

does this work in minecraft 1.8 or old versions like that

[@kangarko]

Custom items yes, persistent metadata no but you can save them together with the uuid of the entity into a yml file or a database and make your own system

[@adem0s687]

Soooo, nbt tags and metadata disappear when reloading ?!

[@kangarko]

NBT tags stay when reloading. Metadata (player#setMetadata) will disappear when reloading.

Bedrock edition has a simpler solution, but java is still more powerful.
