So i look at an entity and say something like /savemob (name) and later on /spawnmob name! This is no plugin request i know how to code and heres my code, (I'm stuck at the part to convert it to a base64 string so i can save it to the config!

These should do it.

Code:java

private String encode(String str) {
    str = Base64Coder.encodeString(str);
    return str;
}
 
 
private String decode(String str) {
    str = new String(Base64Coder.decode(str));
    return str;
}

Yes probably but still the Entity is no string yet ^^
