Firing events on random blocks

[CaptainDoge]

I would like to fire an event for random blocks in the world (in this case leaves).

 

This would be similar behavior I assume to the functionality of grass spreading and crops growing but I am having a hard to accessing and understanding that code

 

any insight into this would be priceless to me, thanks for your consideration!

Get a block position.

Get the block state at that position.

Call tick() on it.

This is useful, but how do I get a random block of a certain type? Or call a random tick on all blocks of the same type

See ServerWorld#tickEnvironment, towards the bottom of the method is where it does random ticks.
