How to detect when block is broken by explosion or moved by piston?

[Mordraug]

I think title says all I need to know.

I want to create mod that will create protection from tnt, creepers in some radius, So if I'd place lots of tnt around protected area it'd create a sphere. Afaik there is only an event detecting breaking block by player in forge api, thats quite disappointing.

Thanks, but detecting it for every block would require modifying Block class, am I right?

Hi

 

I don't think this is so easy.  I can think of a few possibilities, none of them easy-

modify the Block class

modify the Explosion class

intercept World.createExplosion, World.newExplosion, to substitute a customised MyExplosion class;

modify the TNT and creeper entities

 

I reckon that probably means a core mod.

Yeah, I actually went with modifying  Explosion class, I guess not many core mods would be incompatible with that.

Thanks alot.
