package com.example.examplemod;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.entity.EntityPlayerSP;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.gameevent.PlayerEvent;

@Mod(modid = ExampleMod.MODID, version = ExampleMod.VERSION)
public class ExampleMod {
	public static final String MODID = "examplemod";
	public static final String VERSION = "1.0";

	@EventHandler
	public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
		System.out.println("Mod is loading");
	}

	@SubscribeEvent
	public void pickUp(PlayerEvent.ItemPickupEvent event) {
		EntityPlayerSP thePlayer = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
		thePlayer.sendChatMessage("Hey there!");
	}
}
