I would like to make it so that if the player walks on farmland while wearing certain armor, that the farmland reverts to dirt, trampling the crops. I want something like onEntityWalking, but it looks like overriding the farmland block would be nigh impossible, because of all the places in the Minecraft code that refers to it via Blocks.FARMLAND rather than using instanceof. Another option would be to add an EntityWalkingEvent to Forge, but that may be overkill, plus it would require waiting however long it takes to get the PR approved and into Forge.

 

Am I missing other options?

I suggest doing the PR and supplementary until it is implemented you could use PlayerTickEvent.

I'd use the armor item's onArmorTick method.  That way you're not having to check the player's inventory all the time, even when they're not wearing armor.

Ah yes, forgot that method existed (I need to go to sleep)  . Also assuming that this is your armor this way.

cant you just place a dirt under a player if it detects that it is a framland when wearing armor?

I have a vague recollection that method is client side only, i.e. it won't be any good for trampling farmland because that needs to occur on server side only.

 

Worth testing out, should only take a few minutes to code up.

 

Ah what the hell, I'll try it myself now.

Guess I was mistaken...

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. It looks like onArmorTick happens once for each piece of armor you're wearing, which is overkill for what I'm doing. OnPlayerTick it is! And I'll take a look at making a PR as well.

OnPlayerTick it is!

 

Which ticks even if you're not wearing the armor. Talk about overkill.

(do your armor tick in one of your armor items, like the boots)

There are a few ways to fix this .

 

I'd personally only do it on armor tick on the boots. Then on boots side you can check if you also wearing a chestplate then increase the chance of trample or something like that.

 

Boots are what people use to connect to the ground so if you don't wanna trample at all walk bearfoot which nobody will do  

 

Another way to do this is to have some kind of player weight stat and whenever you add or remove armor (certain armors) you add or remove weight. or turn weight on and off.
