So... I'm trying to create a new thread in my packet to modify certain properties of items and players. Although I know that 1.8 has a simple solution for this which is: .addScheduledTask(new Runnable() However I can not find an equivalent for this(neither client or server world classes)

Oh MY GOD, FALSE, this is 1.7.10. goddamn me, I should be more careful (sorry, 1.7.10 is so ancient I forgot to consider its existence *looks at OP with laser-eyes*).

 

EDIT

Yeah, basically below.

New thread? What? That 1.8 method does more or less the opposite of "creating a thread", it makes sure your code runs on the main thread. In 1.7.10 it is not needed, since the packet handler code already runs on the main thread.

 

Right, I was false informed than. So my code should automatically run as long as my packet runs?

If your packet arrives, then the code in your packet handler runs.  Ergo, your code runs if your packet is sent.

Thanks again, after doing some debugging I found out it wasn't the actual packet that raised suspicion but it was a check in the event right where it checks if you hit an entity or not. Anyways, thanks to the both of you for clairing this up ^^
