Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple binoculars item that when I right click, i change the zoom of the camera.
I've found some suggestions to post a custom FOVUpdateEvent on the MinecraftForge event bus but i don't seem to get any change reflecting in my client.

 @Nonnull
    @Override
    public ActionResult<ItemStack> onItemRightClick(World worldIn, PlayerEntity playerIn, @Nonnull Hand handIn) {
        ItemStack heldItem = playerIn.getHeldItem(handIn);
        FOVUpdateEvent updateEvent = new FOVUpdateEvent(playerIn, 0.9F);
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(updateEvent);
        return new ActionResult<>(ActionResultType.SUCCESS, heldItem);
    }

 

PS: If you have other suggestions to create my desired effect, let me know!

 

Kind regards

Posting an event to the event bus doesn't do what you want. You should instead subcscribe to the FOVUpdateEvent. Read the documentation on events here.

Is the FOVUpdateEvent something that happens every frame?

It's called every tick.

Is there a reason why this doesn't work?

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber
public class FOVUpdate {
    private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onFOVUpdate(final FOVUpdateEvent updateEvent) {
        LOGGER.warn("Updating FOV");
    }
}

    }
}

 

Nvm I'm dumb the method should be static. All is good!
