[1.7] Update method in main class?

[DaNatin]

Is it possible to make an update method in my mod's main class? I want to check for stuff such as if a player is wearing iron armor, or if they're outside. Most update methods I know of are in custom item/block classes themselves, I don't want that. So, is it possible to have an update method in the main class?

Events might be your best bet

Preferably the livingUpdateEvent might handle what you need.

If you only want to handle the player update tick and no other entities, you should use PlayerTickEvent (on the FML bus) rather than LivingUpdateEvent - the latter is fired for every single living entity and is overkill just to update the player.
