[1.7.2] Moved By piston detection?

[Electrobob99]

Basically What I ask is it possible to detect whether a block is moved by pistons, because currently I'm using breakBlock to make it drop and place a block when destroyed, and it sadly keeps activating the this with the piston movement.

Hi

 

The piston will break your block if it's made of the wrong material - perhaps that is the problem.  Look at Block.getMobilityFlag() for clues.

 

If no joy with that, try looking in BlockPistonBase.tryExtend() to get a better idea of what is happening; perhaps this line

 

                    block.dropBlockAsItemWithChance(p_150079_1_, i1, j1, k1, p_150079_1_.getBlockMetadata(i1, j1, k1), chance, 0);
