Sword swing enchantment

[theishiopian]

How do I detect (on the server) if a player is swinging a sword? I want to make an enchantment that lets you deflect arrows like ghast fireballs, but I can't find an event that fires when the player left clicks. I looked into sending a packet from the client to the server when there's a left click on the client side, but I couldn't figure out how to send the server an event object for the left click event. If theres an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear it.

I think you want the PlayerInteractEvent.LeftClickEmpty and AttackEntityEvent events

Will attackEntityEvents work with projectiles?

Also, leftclickempty only works on the client.

events

IIRC all projectiles are entities except for eggs

[theishiopian]

Thats... oddly specific

Thats the only reference to it I could find, I think its been changed in newer versions tho

Edit: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-31338 yeah, it was changed ages ago

Lol, this codebase scares me sometimes with how janky it is. I seem to recall arrows not responding to being hit with a sword, but I'll test again and report back.

@Cadiboo I just tested and AttackEntityEvent event by firing arrows at myself from a dispenser and swinging a sword at them. It appears that arrows dont fire the event.

 

Code:

 

@SubscribeEvent
	public static void event(AttackEntityEvent event)
	{
		if(event.getEntity() instanceof IProjectile)
		{
			System.out.println("x");
		}
	}

EDIT: Holy shit I'm dumb, I forgot to register the event.

 

EDIT2: After registering the event, it still doesn't work.

im dumb

Try the onProjectileImpact event maybe? You could also check the arrow code & possibly submit a PR to forge
