[1.12.2] Putting item in a chest every tick

[James (MSTUDIO)]

How can i make it so every tick it puts items in a chest that is 3 blocks underneath a block?

If you mean once every block update tick (about the time it takes wheat to grow a stage, iirc), override the block's updateTick() function with your code to put the item in the chest. If you mean once every game tick, I don't know an easy way to do that. You can call this.worldIn.getBlockState(pos.down(3)).getBlock() where 'this' is the block class to get the chest three blocks down. I don't know how to put items in a chest, but you if you look through the minecraft source code, you should be able to at least figure out which functions to use. Good luck!

check if the block has an ItemHandler capability (it means its any type of item-storage TE) with tile.hasCapability(CapabilityItemHandler.ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY, facing) or tile.hasCapability(CapabilityItemHandler.ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY, facing)!=null

so where would i put that code?

 

Code :

public class FoodSpawner extends BlockBase{

	private World worldIn;

	public FoodSpawner(String name, Material material) {
		super(name, material);
		setSoundType(SoundType.METAL);
		setHardness(3.0F);
		setResistance(17.0F);
		setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 1);
	}
	
	public void updateTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random ran) {
		
	}
	
	public int tickRate(World worldIn)
	{
		return 10;
	}
	
}

You'll want to make a ticking TileEntity for it
