If your entity has data that is needed on the client, but doesn't change over time, then it can be added to the entity spawn packet using this interface. <code><nowiki>writeSpawnData()</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>readSpawnData()</nowiki></code> control how the data should be en/decoded to/from the network buffer. Also override <code><nowiki>getAddEntityPacket()</nowiki></code> to return <code><nowiki>NetworkHooks.getEntitySpawningPacket(...)</nowiki></code> for the data to be send.
