How do I get Block inctance and block state value from BlockEntity or BlockState object?

[ga1kokuj1n]

The goal is to get power value of placed redstone dust with special item using RightClickBlock event. I need to get Block object to check is it a redstone and then "power" state value of this. How do I properly do that?

Why aren't you just overriding Item.useOn() in your item? e.g. see DebugStickItem.useOn()

The answer to your direct question is pretty trivial

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID)
public class ModEvents {

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void rightClickBlock(RightClickBlock event) {
        if (event.getItemStack().is(MY_ITEM.get())) {
            BlockState state = event.getLevel().getBlockState(event.getPos());
            Block block = state.getBlock();
            // etc.
        }
    }
}

Sorry? I'm not a profetional programmer and also I started modding just a few days ago, so I don't know every features of this framework now, and I even didn't know that there is such a method in Item class I can override.

 

By the way, does exist a full documentation for forge instead of docs.minecraftforge.net, that describes every classes, methods etc. No doubt it's a useful documentation to introduce you to the basics of working with the system, but in my opinion it is not enough, and I would like to have some full-complete documentation instead of trying at random, reading library packages for many hours and bombarding the forum with questions about every little thing.

Minecraft is not documented. It is closed source software.

Common modding tasks are documentated on the wiki: https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Main_Page

But don't expect to it to have everything. It mostly concentrates on the parts where you need to do things differently to what vanilla does.

If it is not documented on the wiki, you should look at how something similar in the vanilla codebase works. Or find another mod doing a similar thing to learn from.
