WeakComponentReference

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.component

public class WeakComponentReference<ECS_TYPE, T extends Component<ECS_TYPE>>

A weak reference to a specific component on a specific entity. Caches the component instance via a WeakReference for fast access, falling back to a full store lookup if the cached reference has been garbage collected. Automatically invalidated when the owning entity is removed.
