[1.7.2] How to check when the block starts breaking

[RadioactiveStud]

I need a function (to put in my item's class) that gets called when the player uses the item to break a block right when he starts breaking it. I know about onBlockDestroyed() but I can't find anything for this. onStartBlockBreak() doesn't get called until right before the block is broken.

You said "the item". Does this mean that you want check if the player is holding a special item? In this case i would place the code in the item class.

Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm putting this function that I want in the Item's class.

whats the function of the item?

 

whats the outcome of using the item on the block and the relevance of the item to the block cause ive just recently been doing stuff with forge events around specific items breaking specific blocks

Yeah, If you want to go through the trouble of using forge events, then you would be able to do basically any you want.
