I'm trying to manually set EntityPlayerSP.activeHand using EntityPlayerSP.setActiveHand(). Which would be the correct Forge event to do this through? I can't solve this via getItemUseAction() or something similar since I want to implement a new right click action for an existing vanilla item and not a new one from my mod.

I already tried LivingEvent.LivingUpdateEvent, but that one didn't seem to work for my purpose. So which event would be correct?

Just use one of PlayerInteractEvent sub events to add a new rightClick for an item.

Thanks a lot guys for the very quick responses as usual!

Turns out I actually had it working before using LivingEvent.LivingUpdateEvent, but I just didn't notice since the effect I was looking for didn't occur. Isn't setActiveHand supposed to eventually slow down the player by a lot and disable sprinting? That's what I'm going for and what I thought would be happening, but it's not.

My current implementation looks this:

@SubscribeEvent
public void rightClickItem(PlayerInteractEvent.RightClickItem event) {
    if (event.getItemStack().getItem() instanceof ItemSword) {
        this.mc.player.setActiveHand(EnumHand.MAIN_HAND);
    }
}

From my understanding due to isHandActive being true now (and it really is, I checked) this code in EntityPlayerSP (line 992-) would be executed now:

if (this.isHandActive() && !this.isRiding())
{
    this.movementInput.moveStrafe *= 0.2F;
    this.movementInput.moveForward *= 0.2F;
    this.sprintToggleTimer = 0;
}

So either it isn't or it's not slowing the player down like I thought it would...

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks a lot for pointing that out! It's just a lot of new territory I'm trying to get at with this.
