[1.7.10] How to get the block the player is looking at?

Posted March 30, 201510 yr

So, I want to simply get the coords of the block the player is looking at so I can use them to generate a structure properly. Problem is, the two ways I've tried seem to not work. Here they are:

Vec3 vec3 = Vec3.createVectorHelper(player.posX, player.posY + player.getEyeHeight(), player.posZ);
	Vec3 lookVec = player.getLookVec();
	MovingObjectPosition mop = world.rayTraceBlocks(lookVec, vec3);

	int x = mop.blockX;
	int y = mop.blockY;
	int z = mop.blockZ;
if(mop != null) {
System.out.println("Block X: " + x + ", " + "Block Y: " + y + ", " + "Block Z: " + z);
}

MovingObjectPosition mop = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F);

	if(mop != null) {
		int blockHitSide = mop.sideHit;

		Block blockLookingAt = world.getBlock(mop.blockX, mop.blockY, mop.blockZ);

		System.out.println("Block X: " + mop.blockX + ", " + "Block Y: " + mop.blockY + ", " + "Block Z: " + mop.blockZ);
	}

If someone can help me that'd be great!

On the client side I think you can use: Minecraft.getMinecraft().objectMouseOver, which is the current MovingObjectPosition as determined by the EntityRenderer.
