Like the title says i am trying to replace the bread item when it de-spawns using an event handler but either the spawning of the item isn't working or just the event isn't being called but i don't see why because i have registered the event handler and i cant see why this wouldn't work. If anyone else has a solution to my problem it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is my code:

 

@SubscribeEvent

public void ItemExpireEvent(

net.minecraftforge.event.entity.item.ItemExpireEvent event) {

if (event.entityItem.equals(Items.bread)) {

event.entity.dropItem(BioWarfareItems.itemMoldyBread, 1);

}

}

 

Here is were i register:

@EventHandler

public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {

MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new BioWarfareEventHandler());

    FMLCommonHandler.instance().bus().register(new BioWarfareEventHandler());

entityItem, of type

ItemStack

, will never equal Items.bread, of type

Item

.

oh right yea that's an item not an entity so how do i get a specific item's entity?

entityItem.getItem()?

 

It's an entity that contains an item stack which references an item.  It's not that hard.

I must have done something wrong because the bread is still just de-spawning:

 

@SubscribeEvent

public void ItemExpireEvent(net.minecraftforge.event.entity.item.ItemExpireEvent event) {

 

if (event.entityItem.equals(new ItemStack(Items.bread).getItem())) {

event.entity.dropItem(BioWarfareItems.itemMoldyBread, 1);

}

}

 

i thought  .getItem() was getting the items entity because its used here:

this.getEntityItem().getItem() == Items.nether_star && source.isExplosion())

so how do i get the items entity?

event.entityItem is of type EntityItem.

 

event.entityItem - EntityItem

event.entityItem.getEntityItem() - ItemStack

event.entityItem.getEntityItem().getItem() - Item instance

 

When you compare items you (in most cases) compare Item instances. Comparing ItemStacks is only used when item has meta/quantity.

hmm this doesnt seem to work either tho:

if (event.entityItem.getEntityItem().getItem() == BioWarfareItems.itemMoldyBread) {

event.entity.dropItem(BioWarfareItems.itemMoldyBread, 1);

}

 

 

if (event.entityItem.getEntityItem().getItem() == BioWarfareItems.itemMoldyBread) {

 

Um.

i really need to stop derping like this i changed it and it works now thankyou all for the help!
