player looking at block

[mokonaModoki]

is there an easy way to get coordinates of the block player is looking at? (like the block at which target box appears)

I will redirect you to this post in which I reply, maybe is useful for you too:

this is just the way to determine the direction block should face after placement. I need a way to find target block coordinates and it's sides and directions don't really matter

Then maybe you can use:

world.getBlockId(x, y, z)

You can scan the blocks arround the player (supposing you know the position of the player) and know if it's the block you want by the ID. To know the direction you should scan use the strategy i posted before.

 

Hope to help you now
