Unable to get NBTTagCompound from NBTTagList

[Master-chan]

This method looking wrong [NBTTagList.java:122]

    public NBTTagList getList(int i) {
        NBTBase t = get(i);
        if (t instanceof NBTTagList) return ((NBTTagList) t);
        return null;
    }

    public NBTTagList getCompound(int i) {
        NBTBase t = get(i);
        if (t instanceof NBTTagList) return ((NBTTagList) t);
        return null;
    }

you're right. I'm already working on a new API

[Master-chan]

Sorry for bothering, but can you explain how to save edited tag back to NBTContainerEntity? The setTag method seems to write only in root compound, while I need to write modified player attributes.

[DPOH-VAR]

You need to read root tag, then modify it's attributes, and save tag back to container. No other way, because the tags are read and written fully

[Master-chan]

I'm reading tag like this:

            NBTContainerEntity con = new NBTContainerEntity(entity);
            NBTTagCompound compound = (NBTTagCompound) con.getTag();
            NBTTagList attributes = compound.getList("Attributes");
            compound = (NBTTagCompound) attributes.get(1);
            NBTTagDouble kbResist = (NBTTagDouble) compound.get("Base");

But I don't understand how to save my NBTTagDouble after editing.

[DPOH-VAR]

NBTContainerEntity con = new NBTContainerEntity(entity);
NBTTagCompound compound = (NBTTagCompound) con.getTag();
NBTTagList attributes = compound.getList("Attributes");
NBTTagCompound attr = (NBTTagCompound) attributes.get(1);
// read value
NBTTagDouble kbResist = (NBTTagDouble) attr.get("Base");
// set new value
attr.put("Base",(double) newKbResist )
// and save
con.setTag(compound) // compound has been changed

it should work

Thank you very much, i was puzzling over this for 2 hours :+1:
