Howdy,

 

I am trying to find the best way to detect if the a block is exposed to the sky after a block above it has broken. The most direct way(because I assumed there was a block break event) is to hook into a block break event and do a check every single time via checking every block from the sky limit to the block but that seems.... excessive.  Now I know from reading here that there isn't a block break event so I need other ways. I could do block lighting but this needs to work at night as well.

 

Anyone have any more ideas then what I have above?

 

Thanks!

For exposed to sky problem:

 

Try looking at the methods of the World class!

Thanks for responding on both forums

 

I tend to not get responses on the main minecraft forum so I cross posted here. Thank you very much!
