How would I get the amount of ticks passed between two triggers? (e.g. a onItemRightClick trigger)

 

Example:

 

@Override
public ActionResult<ItemStack> onItemRightClick(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, EntityPlayer playerIn, EnumHand hand) {
int ticks = getTicks(); // gets ticks since the last time getTicks() was called
System.out.println(ticks);
        return new ActionResult(EnumActionResult.PASS, stack);
    }

 

How would I make the getTicks() method?

World#getTotalWorldTime

gives you the age of the world in ticks, it increments every tick. So remember that value and return the difference between the remembered value and the current value.

 

Thanks, but I found a better way to do this for my situation. I use the

Item#onUpdate

method and just store the ticks passed as damage values.

That's not better, that's worse.  Now the itemstack needs to update every tick and will cause a jiggle as if the player is switching items.
