as it says in the title
is there a way to get and set such data from vanilla mobs using procedures? and if so, how is it done?

and the set data?

for example, setting the data based of the hp of the mob

Jump to top Permalink

CompoundTag data = entity.saveWithoutId(new CompoundTag());
data.putInt("SpellTicks", 10);
entity.load(data);

The set is the custom code snipet

And the get is the print custom code snipet

Correct?

https://mcreator.net/comment/297644/#comment-297644 here i'm just using print as a way of using the value returned you can use the it with any block you want, like,

entity.saveWithoutId(new CompoundTag()).getInt("SpellTicks") (same thing but it's actually a number not just text)
