Interface GeyserEntityDataType<T>

Type Parameters:
T - the value type associated with this entity data type
public interface GeyserEntityDataType<T>
Represents a type of entity data that can be sent for an entity.

Entity data types define the kind of value stored for a particular piece of metadata, such as a Byte, Integer, Float; and the name associated with them.

Unlike custom items or blocks, it is possible to update entity metadata at runtime, which can be done using GeyserEntity.update(GeyserEntityDataType, Object).
