 If you want to store any data in your ''BlockEntity'', you will need to save and load it, or it will only be held while the ''BlockEntity'' is loaded, and the data will reset whenever you come back to it. Luckily, saving and loading is quite simple - you only need to override ''writeNbt()'' and ''readNbt()''.  If you want to store any data in your ''BlockEntity'', you will need to save and load it, or it will only be held while the ''BlockEntity'' is loaded, and the data will reset whenever you come back to it. Luckily, saving and loading is quite simple - you only need to override ''writeNbt()'' and ''readNbt()''. 
  
-''writeNbt()'' modifies the parameter ''nbt'', which should contain all of the data in your block entity. It usually does not modify the block entiti object itself. The NBT is saved to the disk, and also send through packets if you need to sync your block entity data with clients. It is very important to call ''super.writeNbt'', which saves the position and id of the block entity to the nbt. Without this, any further data you try and save will be lost as it is not associated with a position and ''BlockEntityType''.+''writeNbt()'' modifies the parameter ''nbt'', which should contain all of the data in your block entity.

 Knowing this, the example below demonstrates saving an integer from your ''BlockEntity'' to the nbt. In the example, the integer is saved under the key ''"number"'' - you can replace this with any string, but you can only have one entry for each key in your nbt, and you will need to remember the key in order to read the data later. Knowing this, the example below demonstrates saving an integer from your ''BlockEntity'' to the nbt.
