[1.14.4][SOLVED] auto mining block problems

[andGarrett]

I'm trying to create a block that mines the block next to one of its faces. I've run into two problems I can't seem to figure out on my own:

1. how do I get facing information for my mining block

2. how do I communicate the facing information to my mining blocks tile entity so I can use it to do the mining every 20-60 ticks

 

[SOLUTION]

1 and 2:

first, in your blocks tile entity class import static net.minecraft.util.Direction.*;

then you can use:

getBlockState().getValues().containsValue(UP),

getBlockState().getValues().containsValue(DOWN),

getBlockState().getValues().containsValue(NORTH),

getBlockState().getValues().containsValue(SOUTH),

getBlockState().getValues().containsValue(EAST),

getBlockState().getValues().containsValue(WEST).

Where do you store it? The block state? BlockState#get

TileEntity#getBlockState().get()
