Package net.minestom.server.data

Class DataManager

java.lang.Object
net.minestom.server.data.DataManager
public final class DataManager
extends java.lang.Object
Manager used to register types which can be serialized and deserialized back.

Registering happens with registerType(Class, DataType), you can then retrieve the DataType with getDataType(Class).

A lot of types are already registered by default so you do not have to add all of them manually, you can verify if getDataType(Class) returns null for the desired type, if it is then you will need to register it.
