[SOLVED][1.19.2] Render temporary block client side only.

Hi all, 

I've been searching this forum for some time trying to find a direction in which to go with this but it seems all the answers I find are for <1.16 which is not bad, but a lot of the code has changed since then and locating any sort of resource that could tell me; "Method x in 1.16 was replaced by Method Y in 1.17" etc, has proven to be quite challenging. 
If you know of such resource, please link it so I can browse at my leisure. 

Onto the matter at hand, I am trying to render a temporary block on the client side when the player is holding a specific item in hand, and is looking at a block. When player uses item, block is placed in the world (obviously server side). 
So far, I have managed to subscribe to the RenderHighlightEvent#Block event, and I can get all positions, directions etc that I need, and using my original idea (world.setBlock(ghostBlock)) worked well when running single player, it doesn't work when running on a server, likely because the Render event is client side, the level is therefor ClientLevel and you cannot set blocks on the client side. 

So, instead of setting the block in the world, I'd like to render them locally, and only set them when the player uses the item. 
I found a handful of people with similar issues, but unfortunately as mentioned above, most of them were old and outdated, and the methods used are no longer available.

Whilst it would be easier to ask "Can someone show me how", I'd very much prefer to be pointed to the appropriate documentation/method so I can have a read to better understand how I might go about achieving this. (If of course, what I am asking is possible?)
I have a background in dev, and I've dabbled in Java a bit, so my lack of understanding comes more from Minecraft underlying mechanics rather than the code. 

Anyway, any help would be fantastic :) 
Please let me know if there is anything else you need!

Cheers, 

Chris.

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

      [1.21.x] Setting block tool

      By LogixTheDev · Posted

      Looks like I've figured it out, after entirely too much time wasted on trial-and-error.   The solution was to create /resources/data/minecraft/ and place the tags under there, rather than the mod's data directory. I also needed to add  "replace": false, to the JSON files under /resources/data/minecraft/tags/block/ -> needs_stone_tool.json and mineable/pickaxe.json.   I cannot overstate how dumb this is. I don't think developers should be needing to create additive Minecraft subdirectories for files that belong to a mod. These properties should belong to the block properties anyway, since we're specifying that a tool is required... we should be specifying what that tool is in the same place. (I'm so glad I came back to this mess!) Anyway, it is fixed. Hopefully this helps some poor unsuspecting newbie somewhere down the road.

      Site registration security check is broken!

      By LogixTheDev · Posted

      Upon registering a new account on here, there's a simple security question. Something along the lines of "name a tool you can craft in vanilla Minecraft" and "name a weapon you can craft in vanilla Minecraft". I answered these with answers that are correct. Yet I'm told I "didn't pass the security check". This happens with every answer to every question. If you can't craft a pickaxe, or use a sword as a weapon in vanilla Minecraft then you and I must be playing a totally different game!!

      [1.21.x] Setting block tool

      By LogixTheDev · Posted

      Hello, and happy new year! I've returned to modding while on break from work, and cannot make heads or tails of the method for setting the correct tool for breaking a custom block. This should be a simple affair, but after digging through the vanilla files, all I could find was  assets/data/minecraft/tags/block/mineable/pickaxe.json (and axe, hoe, shovel). So I figured this must be how they're specifying the tool for each block. Yet, after implementing a similar file in my own data folder, it still doesn't work. Plus, this doesn't address the issue of specifying what level of tool is required (wood/stone/iron, etc).   So, please... how should this be being done, properly? And could it be done through the Java code rather than JSON files, without overriding functions for block breaking? I'm either missing something obvious, or -- as is more likely the case -- this is just far more convoluted than it ought to be, for something that should just be a field or two in the Block Properties.
