[1.12.2] On item right click damage entity.

[Merthew 2]

Currently I have an item, the phantom sword that gets an entity that the player is looking at. However, it should cause the entity to be damaged by an amount dependent on the sword type. This does not happen. There is no indication that the entity has been damaged and it will not kill any entity. Any help would be appreciated.

1. Your switch statement for sword tier is messy. Utilize string concatenation.

2. Stop using BlockBase and ItemBase (or in your case, BlockBasic and MItem).

3. You are trying to get the player's view from the server side, which will immediately cause a crash due to the usage of Minecraft#getMinecraft. Use packets.
