Help with applying status effects radiating from placed block

[Fearzu]

All,

 

I am currently working on a mod that allows placed blocks called Totems to radiate a vanilla status effect for a set duration to nearby players. E.g. Craft block, place like any other, start receiving status effect such as Regeneration. This would be similar to a Shamans Totems in WoW.

 

I am not looking for a handout, but if anyone can point me in the right direction for applying a status effect to placed blocks in a certain radius that would be excellent. I am new to modding and I am not sure where to look for code examples for things like this.

 

Thanks!

Take a look at beacons - that's exactly what they do. TileEntityBeacon#updateEntity is where it all starts.

Thanks Cool, that's what I was suspecting - I'm just not sure where to see the code for Beacons - is that a package in Forge that I can view in my IDE (Eclipse)?

 

Edit: just saw the bit about tile. Thanks!
