Hi, I'm confuse with the way the PlayerInteractEvent is working in 1.9

 

I would guess that the event always would return the coordinates de player is looking at, but apparently, for the Main Hand it does return the block the player is looking at, while for the Off Hand it returns the coordinates the player is standing on.

 

Am I right, or I'm missing something here?

 

This is the code:

 

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onPlayerInteractEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event)
    {
    	World world = event.getWorld();
    	BlockPos pos = event.getPos();
    	EntityPlayer player = event.getEntityPlayer();
    	
    	if(!world.isRemote)
    	{
    	
    		System.out.println(event.getPos());
    		
    		System.out.println(event.getHand());
    		
    	if(world.getBlockState(pos).getBlock() instanceof BlockCrops)
    	{
    		System.out.println("Crops!!!");
    	}
   	
    	}//END WORLD NO REMOTE
    }

 

And here is an screenshot ingame and what is show on console. (It didn't print twice, I did right click twice)

 

 

PS: How can I tell if the event was triggered by a Left click or a Right click? Thanks a lot.

In 1.9,

PlayerInteractEvent

has a separate nested subclass for each type of player interaction. Subscribe to one of these rather than

PlayerInteractEvent

itself.

 

I suggest you use Log4J like the rest of Minecraft/Forge rather than printing directly to stdout.

FMLPreInitializationEvent#getModLog

will return a

Logger

that will log messages with your mod ID, store this somewhere and use it to write to the log.

Thanks Choonster, I will take a look into that Log4j

 

I'm using the event RightClickBlock now that works way better for what I was needing
