i am trying to make a block do something when right clicked on. so i if i right click with a torch i cna then do something i know the code for that part and part of the code i need but i dont know how to get the item id or meta number or whatever defines and item when its in you hand so i can then go, if item id == 23 etc. does anyone know of this check?

 

before you berate me for not trying i have looked at the beacon, flowerpot and chest blocks all of which use on block activated and the flowerpot seems to have something like this but from what i understand that only works for flower meta numbers?

 

any help would be great, thanks for your time in advance

when A block or when ALL block are right clicked ?

 

EntityPlayer player;
ItemStack itemInHand = player.inventory.getCurrentItem();
itemInHand.itemID == theId;
itemInHand.getItemDamage() == theMeta;

a block

 

so for example if block is right clicked then i change to other block or spawn an item or whatever.
