Create something to keep track of `enderpearl` stack

[riri404]

I need to find a way to keep track of the enderpearl stack so I don't run into board linking issue. Basically, board1 and board2 can link properly, but if I place board3 and board4, they will link to board1, assumption that this is the cause of this problem is that board3 and board4 are linking to the nbt of board1. I drew something to help me visualize the problem.

potential solution: Adding a custom NBT tag within the chessboard block entity itself, also gotta clear the stored data so we can create another link. Will this cause issues with the first linking? gonna find out this afternoon :))

Nope, it doesn't belong with the chessboard for sure. We're better off making our own unstackable item that turns an unstacked ender pearl into a linking pearl.

my bad I meant QuantumChessBoardEntity. creating an item might make it more chaotic, no? I think we add a chessboardID to the nbt of the quantum chessboard so we can check the IDs before linking

I'm almost done I'll finish testing and push to a new branch so you can review

If you wanted to make a guid for the linkage so that it can't be linked to something else, the ender pearl would need to hold that anyway, and it doesn't change the issue with the stack, which has to contain what's going on. If the problem you're trying to solve is that the whole stack of ender pearls is taking on state and linking isn't properly clearing that state, there are several solutions to consider to address that specific problem, but none of them likely benefit from adding meta-data to a board as the long-term reason to do that would be to prevent weird linking, which is easily enough done with a check to see who got in first and the general (if perhaps more sophisticated) validation of the link on usage.

that makes sense, I did enjoy playing with the NBTs tho :) I will push to anew branch just to show you what I did exactly

[ramou]

Sounds good... don't worry, you'll still get to play with NBTs with the items. Same mechanism.
