Interface MetadataValue

All Known Implementing Classes:
FixedMetadataValue, LazyMetadataValue, MetadataValueAdapter
@Deprecated public interface MetadataValue
Deprecated.
This system is extremely misleading and does not cleanup values for metadatable entities that have been removed. It is recommended that when wanting persistent metadata, you use PersistentDataContainer. If you want temporary values on an entity, just use the entity lifecycle events. (See EntityAddToWorldEvent0
