[1.10.2] Detecting Block Breaking Events

[Galaxy_2Alex]

Okay, I'm usually not the guy who asks for help, but I'm pretty sure I exhausted the Internet about this.

 

For a start, I'm trying to detect any kind of Block Breaking in the game and, whenever a block is broken, output something to the console. However, with my current code, I get nothing. I'm sure it is a very small error, but it has been annoying me for a few days now.

 

Main class:

package at.galaxy2alex.insertmodname;

        import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

@Mod(modid = insertmodname.MODID, version = insertmodname.VERSION)
public class insertmodname
{
    public static final String MODID = "insertmodname";
    public static final String VERSION = "TechDemo";


    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {

    }

    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new BreakHandler());

    }

    public void postInit (FMLPostInitializationEvent event)
    {

    }
}

 

BreakHandler class:

package at.galaxy2alex.insertmodname;

import net.minecraftforge.event.world.BlockEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

/**
* Created by Galaxy_2Alex on 18-Jul-16.
*/
public class BreakHandler {

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onBreakEvent(BlockEvent.BreakEvent event) {

        System.out.println(event.getPlayer());

        /*
        while (true) {
            String test = String.valueOf(breakEvent.getPlayer());
            System.out.println(test);
        }
        */
    }


}

Any help is very much appreciated, also simply telling me that I should never touch modding again.

You don't have an @Instance annotation over a field for your mod class. Your main mod file is likely not receiving the initialization events.

This is what I have now, based on a few things I found:

 

package at.galaxy2alex.insertmodname;

        import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.Instance;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
        import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

@Mod(modid = insertmodname.MODID, name = insertmodname.MODNAME, version = insertmodname.VERSION)

public class insertmodname
{
    public static final String MODID = "insertmodname";
    public static final String MODNAME = "insertmodnameMod";
    public static final String VERSION = "TechDemo";

    @Instance(insertmodname.MODID)
    public static insertmodname instance;

    @EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {

    }

    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new BreakHandler());

    }

    @EventHandler
    public void postInit (FMLPostInitializationEvent event)
    {

    }
}

 

No changes in the other file, still it doesn't seem to be functioning correctly. Putting the @Instance line in the other file gives me a few error messages. I might simply not be spotting the obvious here... One thing I was already confused about while doing initial research is that there is no consistency on in which phase to put the Event Registry, so this may also be a potential issue.

...okay, for newcomers, it may be a bit weird, but essentially: The Event Handler has to be registered before any Inits. Issue resolved by myself!
