[1.9] Forcing block-break events

[Syndaryl]

So, in 1.7.10, 1.8, and 1.8.9 my hacky code for breaking blocks next to the block the player broke worked (at least in SSP, never really tested it in MP...).

 

1.9 doesn't like my approach, so I need to clean it up. So, starting from scratch:

I have a sledgehammer tool and a mattock tool. One is a kind of pick, and the other is a kind of shovel. When you use them appropriately, not only do they break the block you were digging (as usual) but they also scan around for every adjacent block and break those - if they're breakable by the tool. These neighbour block candidates should drop XP, items, or blocks as appropriate (ie per Fortune, Silk Touch, etc).

 

I am scanning the neighboring blocks and making the list of candidates - I'm ideally looking for a method that takes an EntityPlayer or one of its descendants, the World, a BlockPos, and information about Fortune/Silk Touch, and breaks the block found at that BlockPos as if the EntityPlayer broke it.

 

I've found PlayerControllerMP.onPlayerDestroyBlock() and PlayerControllerMP.tryHarvestBlock() but they both seem to be for multiplayer only. Ideally I want something that works both in Singleplayer and Multiplayer. Also, not quite sure how to find them from inside the item.

 

halp?

SSP is SMP only running its own copy of the server and with only a single player connected.

Gotcha, that should sort me then!
