I want to make it where when I activate a block, it spawns an item above the block.

How would I go about doing that? I'm not too familiar with all the functions and would like to learn more of them so I wont have to ask for help so much.

Override

Block#onBlockActivated

to do something when the block is right clicked.

 

To spawn an item, create a new

EntityItem

at the appropriate position using the

EntityItem(World worldIn, double x, double y, double z, ItemStack stack)

constructor then spawn in it the world with

World#spawnEntityInWorld

.

 

BlockPos#up()

will return a

BlockPos

one block above the original position, so you can use this to get the position for the item entity from your block's position.

I did this, and it worked out, thanks. Though it spawns the itemstack twice. one i can pick up, the other i cant. ?

It's spawning twice because it spawns on the server side and the client side. Do a check to make sure it only runs server-side.

 

if(!world.isRemote){
  //code goes here
}
