What You Did

Run the extractor

What Went Wrong

Running the extractor does not produce exactly the same output every time. The overall structure will be the same, but fields and items in arrays may be in different orders.

This causes very messy diffs when Minecraft updates, or when a new extractor is added.

Additional Information

[rj00a]

The problem is caused by an incorrect assumption. The extractor assumes that the default value for a particular tracked data field is the same across entity classes that inherit the field, but this is incorrect. The output format of the extractor will have to be changed along with the entity code generator in valence_entity.

Rather than having one system per tracked data, there needs to be one system per entity archetype.
