[1.15.2] Waiting few seconds before action

[Corgam]

Hi, 

I want to rotate a block (change it's property) in onBlockActivated() 4 times, so it rotates back in it's starting position, but the problem right now is that it's doing it too fast,

is there a way to wait a few seconds between every rotation?

Cheers

You have to wait for ticks. Doing it inside the function (as a loop or individual actions) makes it happen instantaneously. Because that's how code works.

Yeap thanks, but how exactly can I wait for ticks?

Schedule an update tick for your block, then use the update tick method in the block class (override it).
