Check if player is looking at a block

[Tim_]

So i want to check if a player is still looking at a specific block. Can i do it like an event so the event fires if the player stops looking at a specific block and if so how i haven't found an event that does this.

To see what the player is looking at, you can do

var hitResult = Minecraft.getInstance().hitResult;

The hitResult.getType() will tell you if it is a block.

The rest you will need to code yourself. Probably using the PlayerTickEvent? Don't forget to check the phase and side of that event.

If you want to do it on the server, then you will need to use the slower Entity.pick() method for the player. I don't think you want to be doing that every tick multiplied by the number of players.
