I am trying to use the BreakEvent to detect when some blocks are broken (I know how to check which block and the other parts I need) but it doesn't seem to be firing at all.  I have tried using debug mode in IntelliJ with breakpoints and nothing.  I understand I am most likely missing some very basic part of this, but I've never really used events before so I'm not really used to it.

 

Code:

 

public class BlockBrokenHandler {

 

    @SubscribeEvent(receiveCanceled = true)

    public void onBlockBrokenEvent(BlockEvent.BreakEvent event) {

 

        for (int x = 0; x <= 100; x++) {

            LogHelper.debug("Starting event handler");

        }

    }

}

 

I use FMLCommonHandler.instance().bus().register(new BlockBrokenHandler()); to register the handler, it is in my common proxy and is called from my main mod class.

 

Any help is appreciated

first, use "system.out.println("The event is fired")" to test the event is fired or not.

second, use a class in your parameter, not a method!

BlockEvent.* are MinecraftForge events, not ForgeModLoader events. You need to register them using MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register();
