I want to intercept breaking of a block and rather than break the block I want to set its size to be small. I have the size part down but I need to be able to get the blocks tile entity to do this. the following didnt work.

 

in my block class

@Override
public void breakBlock(World world, int x, int y, int z, Block block, int blockMetadata)
{   super.breakBlock(world, x, y, z, block, blockMetadata);
System.out.println("called " + x +"  " + y + "   " + z);
   	if (world.getTileEntity(x, y, z) instanceof TileEntityBush){
	TileEntityBush bush = (TileEntityBush) world.getTileEntity(x, y, z);
	bush.growFraction = 0;
	System.out.println("called");
}
}

 

the print lines are called but the block still breaks
