Hi everyone! I need to send additional data about an Entity from the server (Paper) to the client (Fabric), version 1.21.5. What is the best way to do this?

custom payload

#

send the entity (network) id + the data in the payload

limber pine send the entity (network) id + the data in the payload

In a separate packet, is that correct?

limber pine what

Should I send the information as entity ID + data in a separate (custom payload) packet? If possible, I’d prefer to modify existing packets instead.

#

If that approach is considered bad practice, then I’ll go with your suggestion instead.
