[1.7.10] Proper way to modify blocks when populating chunks

[TheAwesomeGem]

What is a proper way to modify block when loading new chunks? The purpose for this is for me to remove spawners and chest when new chunks load(set it to air).

Really frustrating that I cannot do this without getting any problems.

[TheAwesomeGem]

Is there actually any way to do it?

Hi

 

Sure there is a way, even if you have to use reflection to mod the vanilla.

 

Try looking in vanilla ChunkProviderServer.loadChunk.  The ChunkEvent.Load seems to appear a few times, that might be promising.  It gives you the chunk so you can getBlock, setBlock, removeTileEntity etc on it as much as you want.

I have a tutorial (really just records a method developed by diesieben07) here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-172-modding-quick-tips.html

 

The tutorial has a collection of tips related to blocks, look at the section down the page called: Replace Generated Blocks With Different Block
