Syntax

[the] (fake|packet) entity [field] (meta [data]|entity meta data) of %packetentities/entities%

Description

Returns live metadata for fake entities, or a metadata snapshot for real entities. Changing a snapshot does not change the server entity: send it in an entity metadata packet to chosen viewers. For persistent player glow, use 'set packet glow state of player to true for player'.

Examples

command /metadata-glow:
    trigger:
        set {_meta} to fake entity entity meta data of player

        set {_packet} to a new clientbound entity metadata packet:
            entity id: protocol id of player
            entity metadata: {_meta}
        silently send packet {_packet} to player
