(SOLVED) [1.14.4] Get Biome of targeted Block

[MineModder2000]

I am using the event.getWorld().getBiome() method for RightClickItem Event. It takes a position as a parameter. If I use event.getPos() I get the position the player is standing in, but I want the position of the block being targeted, if possible. 

 

- Thanks.

If you are trying to get the position of a block outside of the reach distance, you need to perform a raytrace to find that block position.

RightClickItem is specifically for the case where no block is targeted. Use RightClickBlock for the case where a block is right-clicked.

I should've specified, I want this check to happen when the player is holding an item, so the RightClickItem event is what I want cancelled when the block is in the wrong biome. It actually doesn't work that bad the way I have it, it would just be better if it was based on the targeted block rather than the block the player is on.

You can use Minecraft#objectMouseOver. You can also look at the ray trading that the debug overlay does to show you your targeted block and block (at a surprisingly far range)

[MineModder2000]

Okay so the BlockRayTraceResult constructor takes the following : Vec3d, Direction, BlockPos, Boolean. I think I got the correct Vec3d and Direction, but I am not sure how to get the targeted Block, so I can get it's position. 

 

 @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
	@SubscribeEvent
    public void rightClickItem(RightClickItem event) {
    	
    	BlockRayTraceResult result;
    	
    	result = new BlockRayTraceResult(event.getEntityPlayer().getLookVec(), event.getFace(), event.getPos(), false);
    	
    	if ((event.getEntityPlayer().getHeldItemMainhand().getItem() == Items.GLASS_BOTTLE ||
    		event.getEntityPlayer().getHeldItemMainhand().getItem() == Items.WATER_BUCKET) &&
    	    (!event.getWorld().getBiome(result.getPos()).toString().contains("River"))) {
    		
    			event.setCanceled(true);
    	}
    }

...You have to run a ray trace. Take the existing client side code, copy it, and put it where you need it (common code).

Any examples docs? 

[Draco18s]

I'm not sure what you need docs for to copy-paste a function.

I don't understand what function, what existing client side code? What does running a ray trace mean?

Some examples of code that do raytracing:

- debug overlay’s targeted block

- throwable entity’s update code (before it calls onImpact)

- Minecraft’s code that’s sets objectMouseOver

This:

 if (this.leftClickCounter <= 0 && !this.player.isHandActive()) {
         if (leftClick && this.objectMouseOver != null && this.objectMouseOver.getType() == RayTraceResult.Type.BLOCK) {
            BlockRayTraceResult blockraytraceresult = (BlockRayTraceResult)this.objectMouseOver;
            BlockPos blockpos = blockraytraceresult.getPos();
            if (!this.world.isAirBlock(blockpos)) {
               Direction direction = blockraytraceresult.getFace();
               if (this.playerController.onPlayerDamageBlock(blockpos, direction)) {
                  this.particles.addBlockHitEffects(blockpos, blockraytraceresult);
                  this.player.swingArm(Hand.MAIN_HAND);

 

I don't understand this code, objectMouseOver is not set anywhere in the class, so how is it being used?

I tried to implement the code from debug overlay :

 

RayTraceResult result;
    	BlockPos blockpos = null;
    	
    	result = event.getPlayer().func_213324_a(20.0D, 0.0F, true);
    	
    	if (result.getType() == RayTraceResult.Type.BLOCK) {
    		
            blockpos = ((BlockRayTraceResult)result).getPos();
    	}
    	
    	if ((event.getPlayer().getHeldItemMainhand().getItem() == Items.GLASS_BOTTLE ||
    		event.getPlayer().getHeldItemMainhand().getItem() == Items.WATER_BUCKET) &&
    	    (!event.getWorld().getBiome(blockpos).toString().contains("River"))) {
    		
    			event.setCanceled(true);
    	}

 

But its still going by the block that the player is standing on, not looking at.

Anyone?

Are you sure that you are getting the correct BlockPos? You are searching with up to a 20 block range. What happens if the BlockPos is null?

As stated it's fetching the position of the block that the player is standing on. If it's null the game crashes.

You should fix that.

Well it's never naturally null, that's only if I comment out the code that sets it. The bigger problem is getting the blockPos of the block the player is looking at.

What if you’re not looking at a block...

The code isn't working as intended, it's going by the block the player is standing on not looking at.

I suggest going to the DrawBlockHighlightEvent class, seeing where it is triggered, and checking if the blockpos is there

I love you, didn't know this event existed, but it's definitely the right one, thanks.
