how to track a dropped item

[Gfortes]

I need to track the dropped item and find out if it fell into the water, but I don't know how to do it

[Luis_ST]

Could you please more be specific with "track the dropped item"? When track the dropped item, whenever an Item is falling or when the Player tossel the Item?

[Gfortes]

falling in water

I would like to check every tick if this item is in the water but I have no idea how to do it

If it's your own item you can override IForgeItem.onEntityItemUpdate() for your item and do whatever you like.

e.g.

    @Override
    public boolean onEntityItemUpdate(ItemStack stack, ItemEntity entity) {
        if (entity.isInWater()) {
            // Do stuff
        }
        return false;
    }

    }

I'm sorry for such a stupid question, but where can I use this code

[warjort]

In your Item class implementation.

You should also note, that this method is called on both the client and the server.

Depending upon what processing you want to do, you will need to check entity.level.isClientSide

and thanks again

Which version is this? https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/91712-supported-version-directory/

1.18.2 forge 40.1.60

 

[warjort]

There is no Item.getRegistryName() in 1.18

 

Anyway, you added your method to a random class.

You need to make your own custom Item class for this. You can't use the generic "new Item()"

public class MyItem extends Item {

    public MyItem(Properties p_41383_) {
        super(p_41383_);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onEntityItemUpdate(ItemStack stack, ItemEntity entity) {

// etc.

If you still don't understand, you should find something that helps you learn java. This is basic stuff.
