How can I make my block light up for a certain time?

[Temenstro]

@Override public InteractionResult use(BlockState state, Level level, BlockPos pos, Player player, InteractionHand hand, BlockHitResult hitResult) { if(!level.isClientSide&&hand == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) { boolean lit = state.getValue(LIT); if (lit) { new Thread(() -> { player.hurt(DamageSource.LIGHTNING_BOLT, 2); level.setBlock(pos, state.cycle(LIT), 3); try { Thread.sleep(300); }catch (Exception e){} level.setBlock(pos, state.cycle(LIT), 3); }).start(); } } return super.use(state, level, pos, player, hand, hitResult); }

Why this not work? it doesn't go out

Please use the code button (looks like this: <>) in the post editor to paste formatted code, as plain text code all on one line is hard to follow.

@Override
    public InteractionResult use(BlockState state, Level level, BlockPos pos, Player player, InteractionHand hand, BlockHitResult hitResult)
    {
        if(!level.isClientSide&&hand == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND)
        {
            boolean lit = state.getValue(LIT);
            if (lit) {
                new Thread(() -> {
                    player.hurt(DamageSource.LIGHTNING_BOLT, 2);
                    level.setBlock(pos, state.cycle(LIT), 3);
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(300);
                    }catch (Exception e){}
                    
                    level.setBlock(pos, state.cycle(LIT), 3);
                }).start();
                

            }
            
        }

        return super.use(state, level, pos, player, hand, hitResult);

    }

Thanks, it looks like the issue might be caused by spawning and starting a new thread like that - I don't think that'll work.

how would you solve this problem?

I mean adding a timeout before the block expires
