mark dirty didn't work either, markBlockForUpdate() is the same as markDirty() i believe, but dont quote me on that

just added those lines to read and write NBT, yet the issue still persists.

So i am making a power system where everything extends a base tile entity class and i cant get the energy parameter to save properly after i exit the world and reload it. Here is the base tile entity class package libraCraft.blocks.tileEntity; import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream; import java.io.DataOutputStream; import java.util.Random; import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
