This already exists in 2 guides and is greatly covered here: https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/guides/ecs/hytale-ecs-theory#codec
Mentioned in Block Components guide as well: https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/guides/ecs/block-components

Even though its specified in another location, Currently the example doesn't properly use the CODEC making it dead code. Wouldn't it still be worth updating the example to show how to properly use the CODEC? Or just remove the CODEC from the example.

I think we should just update the example to reflect the correct code, all our examples across the website need to be consistent.

I think we should just update the example to reflect the correct code, all our examples across the website need to be consistent.

In this specific example it's actually not wise to use a codec as this example showcases a component used for a temporary player state change, like the DeathComponent, which you wouldn't persist (which is what codec does and this PR tries to implement).

There are example here, using the PosionComponent as an example: https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/guides/ecs/hytale-ecs-theory#codec (example of a codec to persist a persist component)

This is also done here: https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/guides/ecs/block-components (custom block with a persistent component but no data)

Codecs are used for all persistence across hytale thus I believe having them covered in the ECS theory guide is appropriate.

If you really want to display codec usage, which already is done along with the rest of ECS types then please do it with an appropriate example.
