Hi,

I've created a chainsaw item. Its salient feature is that if the block it just destroyed is a log, it iterates through every block above the block destroyed and destroys it, until it encounters a block besides a log. (I'm overriding onBlockDestroyed to do this.) What I need to know is, how do I check the block at a specific position, and how do I break it as if the player had just broken it (making it drop things, etc.)?

Edit: SOLVED by looking at vanilla code.

I wonder if there is some kind of ... Block....Position varaible passed to your item through one of the various methods related to breaking blocks...

I do have access to a BlockPos variable, I'm just not sure what to do with it. Should I pass it to the World in some sort of method? Should I operate on it directly? Is the method I'm looking for one of those methods that doesn't have an MCP name yet? And once I've checked the block, how do I break it? I don't want to just replace it with air, and I'm sure there's a method that allows me to spawn in the drops.

Here's what I have so far.

	public boolean onBlockDestroyed(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, BlockState state, BlockPos pos, LivingEntity entityLiving) {
		if (!worldIn.isRemote && state.getBlockHardness(worldIn, pos) != 0.0F) {
			stack.damageItem(1, entityLiving, (p_220038_0_) -> {
				p_220038_0_.sendBreakAnimation(EquipmentSlotType.MAINHAND);
				});
			}
		if(!worldIn.isRemote) {
			BlockPos otherPos = pos.up();
			boolean notEncounteredNonLog = true;
			do {
				Block block = /*can't find a suitable expression to check the block at otherPos*/;
				if(block.isIn(BlockTags.LOGS)) {
					//destroy the block found
					otherPos = otherPos.up();
				}
				else {
					notEncounteredNonLog = false;
				}
			} while(notEncounteredNonLog);
		}
		return true;
	}
