[1.8] Issue with Event Handler

[TheGlobefish]

Hello,

I'm new to modding, and I am trying to get an item (baked potato) to drop from leaves occasionally. I registered the eventbus:

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

in my init method, and have this code in my YeastEventHandler:

package com.yeast.yeastmod;

import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.event.world.BlockEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

public class YeastEventHandler {
@SubscribeEvent

    public void checkLeave(BlockEvent.HarvestDropsEvent event)

    {
	System.out.println("Some event called");

	//Check the block state to find out if the Block is Leaves

	if(event.state == Blocks.leaves)

	{

		//Add the new drop, we can't set event.drops because it is final. This will add it to the    list of possible drops for leaves
		System.out.println("This is a leaf.");
		event.drops.add(new ItemStack(Items.baked_potato));

	}

    }
}

 

When I break any block, my console says "Some event called", confirming that it knows I broke the block. However, when I break a leaf block, I do not get the output "This is a leaf." I have tried using "Blocks.leaves" and "Blocks.leaves2", and both ways my code cannot detect if the block I broke is a leaf. What am I doing wrong?

 

Any help is appreciated,

event.state is an IBlockState instance, which you are comparing to a Block instance, so of course it is always false. You need to use event.state.getBlock() to compare.
