Hello everyone.

I am working on a mod and I hit a little break, I need to make something that breaks a block slowly like a tool but when the person presses right click.

I think it's OP to make an item that breaks stuff every tick.

If anyone uses Thaumcraft, they should know about the wand of excavation or how it's called in the new versions, I haven't done mods in a while.

I would like to have something that works kinda like that, how could I do that?

Don't know exactly, but I believe that there is something like onBlockRightClick or something like that I believe?

OnItemUseFirst does that, but how could I make it so it breaks the block slowly?

You could try to create some sort of cooldown before the block is harvested.

I have the thaumcraft source and he use onItemUse and just break the block instant. And there is no cool down or something.

 

But you could make it like this that you add with itemNBT a custom cooldown.

 

like this: Note its a custom Function you only need to call it in the onItemUseFunction

public boolean onItemUseage(ItemStack stack, World world, int x, int y, int z) //More is
{
      if(stack.hasTagCompound())
      {
           NBTTagCompound nbt = stack.getTagCompound().getCompoundTag("tool");
           if(nbt.getInteger("coolDown") <= 0)
          {
                 //Here do your break code
                 nbt.setInteger("coolDown", 20);
                 return true;
          }
      }
      return false;
}

public void onUpdate(ItemStack stack, World par2, EntityPlayer player)
{
     if(stack.hasTagCompound())
     {
          NBTTagCompoun nbt = stack.getTagCompound().getCompoundTag("tool");
          if(nbt.getInteger("coolDown") > 0)
          {
                int between = nbt.getInteger("coolDown");
                nbt.setInteger("coolDown", between-1);
          }
     }
}
