ManagedEnvironment

public interface ManagedEnvironment
extends Environment, Persistable

This kind of environment is managed by either a compatible inventory, such as a computer or floppy drive, or by an adapter block or similar.

This means its update and save/load methods will be called by their logical container. This is required for item environments, and for block environments that cannot be directly integrated into a block's tile entity, for example because you have no direct control over the block (e.g. what we do with the command block).

You should not implement this interface in your tile entities, or weird things may happen (e.g. update and save/load being called multiple times).

Method Detail

canUpdate

boolean canUpdate()

Like the method of the same name on tile entities, this is used to decide whether to put a component in the list of components that need updating, i.e. for which update() should be called each tick.

Return false here, if you do not need updates, to improve performance.

update

void update()

This is called by the host of this managed environment once per tick.
