[1.8] (Solved) HarvestDropEvent not firing?

[dev909]

Hello all, I'm trying to understand events for future usage. Right now I have a new eventHandler class with my main mod file registering this class into both the minecraft forge event bus and FML event bus. To test it, I want to change the drops from a diamond ore to just an apple. Here is what I have got:

 

Base Mod file

 

 

ChocolateSprinkleEventHandler event = new ChocolateSprinkleEventHandler();

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){

	ChocolateSprinkleBlocks.init();
	ChocolateSprinkleBlocks.registerBlocks();
	ChocolateSprinkleItems.init();
	ChocolateSprinkleItems.registerItems();

	MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(event);
	FMLCommonHandler.instance().bus().register(event);

}

 

 

 

Event Handler class

 

 

@SubscribeEvent
public void onVanillaOreDrop(BlockEvent.HarvestDropsEvent event) {
	if (event.state.getBlock() == Blocks.diamond_ore){
		event.drops.clear();
		event.dropChance = 1.0f;
		event.drops.add(new ItemStack(Items.apple));
	}
}

 

 

 

As you can guess, it doesn't work for some reason and hence this post. The only idea that I have is that my event handler class is either not being picked up, or the method is not firing. The diamond ore still drops a diamond item.

It might help if you registered your event handler class with the event bus, rather than the FMLPreInitializationEvent.

Derp. Should have noticed that. Well it works now, thanks!
