Use for x seconds

Hello i want to give a player an item(reward) after the player was right-clicking a block(targetBlock) with an item(useItem) for an amount of time(t) how do i do that? I tried with a player interaction event but it fires every few ticks and doesn't stop when the player stops interacting so that doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea or a solution? If so i would be happy if u can show me. Thx

Reposting the same question in a new thread is pointless. The answer is still the same and you are just wasting people's time.

As I explained on the other thread, minecraft has no support for this when right clicking a block.

You need to code this yourself.

 

I already suggested adding a "progress" counter to your block by making it a BlockEntity.

 

Another way would be to use a player capability. Where you record for each player which block they have been right clicking and for how long.

That is effectively how the normal item use like eating works.

That code is pretty complicated though. It starts with Item.onUse() calling Player.startingUsingItem() with all sorts of policy callbacks between the Item and player as it progresses.

Some of the code is in the LivingEntity class where the tick() is handled.

You could probably write it simpler if you are not trying to make something so generic (i.e. you don't need all those callbacks).
