[1.7.10] How to see what sort of block I placed?

[Viperdream]

Hi

 

I've just started modding with Forge. I have experience with Bukkit, but this seems a lot different to me.

 

I'm trying to find out how to see which block I just placed with the event 'BlockEvent.PlaceEvent'.

I want this so I can check which block I placed so I have to log it or not. Furnaces in this case.

 

I've been searching everywhere, but I can't find a clear answer.

Can I get an ID from the block event? Or can I find it out with the metadata from the block? But I'm a bit confused with the metadata, because if I do e.blockMetaData it just returns an Integer. And I have no reference to what this means.

 

A bit of a follow up question for this. Can I get the tile entity from this block? I want to check later on whether the furnace is burning (with isBurning()).

 

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any answers.

If anyone could help me out, that'd be great. Thanks!

Ah that's a shame, any place I can find the answer for this?

The mods I want to combine with my mod aren't updated to 1.8+ sadly.

You have the ability to update them yourself which is always a pleasure. Also there is a BlockState field in the event which contains a Block field.

Does that work on 1.7.10? Because I can't find that method.

 

I did find out how to get an ID though, but it also returns an array after the ID (61[15:56:56]), these aren't coördinates I checked it.

Anyone knows what that means?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, it's the time
