[1.7.10] Custom enchantment not working?

[Ms_Raven]

I made an enchantment that's supposed to increase the player's speed every level. But walking with the max-level enchanted boots equipped is still the default speed doesn't even happen and instead the world keeps unloading and loading.

My event handler registered and working perfectly fine with other events so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

 

	@SubscribeEvent
public void updateEnchantments(LivingUpdateEvent event)
{
	if (event.entity instanceof EntityPlayer)
	{
		EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.entity;

		ItemStack item;
		for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
		{
			item = player.getCurrentArmor(i);
			if (item != null)
			{
				int j = EnchantmentHelper.getEnchantmentLevel(Worlds.hyperspeed.effectId, item);
				if (j > 0)
				{
					player.capabilities.setPlayerWalkSpeed(player.capabilities.getWalkSpeed() + 1 * j);
					Worlds.log.entry("Speed - " + player.capabilities.getWalkSpeed());
				}
			}
		}

	}
}

How often does LivingUpdateEvent get called? I may be wrong, but it looks like every update is going to multiply the player's speed again and again until it overflows. Am I reading your expression wrong?

 

I trust you've looked at how a speed potion (or running) produces its effect in vanilla code. Do they use such multiplication in effectively the same place that this event fires?

 

Also, you mention boots but your loop looks at all four armor slots. Is speed intended to work on helms etc?
