[1.12.2] Keep player from entering certain chunks

[Elrol_Arrowsend]

I am trying to keep a player out of a certain area of the map, and the method I was using wasn't going to work. The event I was using cant be cancled so it would tell me that they entered the area but would not stop them from doing so. 

What would be the best way to do this?

You can set the entities position/motion and also use the GetCollisionBoxes event to return a collision box that prevents the entity from going inside.

How would I use the GetCollisionBoxes to do that, The event I was looking at was when an entity entered a chunk?

Add a collision box to the list (if it intersects with the players AABB) to prevent the player from entering the chunk

Ok, im not sure I am following, I have the player, and this event, but how do I add a collision box to it?
 

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onChunkEnter(EntityEvent.EnteringChunk event) {
    	if(event.getEntity() instanceof EntityPlayerMP) {
    		EntityPlayerMP player = (EntityPlayerMP)event.getEntity();
    		ChatMethods.error(player, "You can not go that way!");
    	}
    }

I was talking about the GetCollisionBoxesEvent

Ah, alright, makes sense then. I will see if I can get it working tomorrow.

Thanks for the help, I will post back here when I get something drummed up.

you need to look at EntityEvent.EnteringChunk.

i cant remember, but that event only fires when a entity spawns
