1.12.2 How to turn custom grass into farmland with hoes

[jottinger]

I managed to create custom spreading grass that appears to do everything regular grass does (spreading, snowy variant, drops dirt when broken, turns to dirt when blocked)  One thing I can't wrap my head around is how to enable clicking with a hoe converts it to farmland.  After looking at the source code for the hoe item I can see that it, and not the grass block source code, contains the code to do the conversion.  Anyone have any recommendations on how I might be able to implement it in my custom grass class?  I tried 'onBlockActivated' but it doesn't appear to get called when I right click block (have a System.out.println("Click"); string as only code in method.

Instead subscribe to the UseHoeEvent and till the ground when it is your block.

Will do.  Thanks a lot for quick response.

Just a quick note for those that end up looking here for answers.  The UseHoeEvent event will work, however, I ended up using the onInteract event so that I could capture both the hoe (grass to farmland) and the shovel (grass to path) interactions.  His answer put me on the correct path.

Hey I was wondering if you could show me your code, im struggling to try and figure out how to make grass and dirt and the variants etc.

Why not just look at the BlockGrass class? He probably did exactly that. Probably extended BlockGrass too.

I looked at the BlockGrass class but im not sure what to put in my custom grass class and how to change it to work with my custom dirt.
