Event when player uses an item.

Recommended Posts

So I want to play a sound file when the player uses and item, meaning right clicks with it. What's the event that triggers when the player uses an item? I tried "PlayerUseItemEvent.Start", which should trigger when a player starts using an item according to a list of events I found, but I assume that's outdated because when I tried to make a listener for it, I got the error "PlayerUseItemEvent cannot be resolved to a type"

You can use the PlayerInteractEvent.RightClickItem to detect when the player is right clicking an Item at empty space. If you want to detect the player using an Item on a Block, use the PlayerInteractEvent.RightClickBlock.

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

PlayerUseItemEvent was renamed to LivingEntityUseItemEvent in 1.9 to reflect the fact that any EntityLivingBase can now use items, not just players.

 

Keep in mind that this is only for items that are continuously used like drawing a bow or blocking with a shield.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

Replying for future modders. net.minecraftforge.event.entity.player.PlayerInteractEvent does what you need. As of 1.16.1 there are several subclasses that the server fires when a player right or left clicks; the one you're looking for is probably PlayerInteractEvent.RightClickItem.

Clarified that the server fires these events
