Type Parameters:

T - The type of data serializable this builder can build

All Known Subinterfaces:

```
public interface DataBuilder<T extends DataSerializable>
```
Represents a builder that can take a DataContainer and create a new instance of a DataSerializable. The builder should be a singleton and may not exist for every data serializable.
It is HIGHLY recommended to extend AbstractDataBuilder as it implements content updating
