I am trying to make a specific class for one of my blocks but for some reason the overridden methods are not called, however the constructor is called and gets added to the registry as it still shows up in game.

public class MudBlock extends Block {
	public MudBlock(Properties properties) {
		super(properties);
		FunMod.log.info("Mud Block created!");
	}

	@Override
	public void onEntityCollision(BlockState state, World world, BlockPos pos, Entity entity) {
		FunMod.log.info("Entity collided with a Mud Block!");
	}
	
	@Override
	public void onBlockClicked(BlockState state, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, PlayerEntity player) {
		FunMod.log.info("Block was clicked on!");
	}
}

That is the class I create.

I register it like this:

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = FunMod.MOD_ID, bus = Bus.MOD)
@ObjectHolder(FunMod.MOD_ID)
public class BlockInit {

	/* Blocks to be registered */
	public static MudBlock mud_block = null;

	private static void register_block(final RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event, Block block, String name) {
		block.setRegistryName(name);
		event.getRegistry().register(block);
	}
	
	private static void register_block_item(final RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event, Block block, Item.Properties properties, String name) {
		event.getRegistry().register(new BlockItem(block, properties).setRegistryName(name));
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void register_blocks(final RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event) {
		/* Create block objects */
		mud_block = new MudBlock(Block.Properties.create(Material.SAND).hardnessAndResistance(10f, 0f).harvestTool(ToolType.SHOVEL).slipperiness(5f).sound(SoundType.GROUND));
		
		/* Register blocks */
		FunMod.log.info("Registering blocks.");
		register_block(event, mud_block, "mud_block");
		FunMod.log.info("Done.");
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void register_block_items(final RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) {
		/* Register block items */
		register_block_item(event, mud_block, new Item.Properties().maxStackSize(64).group(ItemGroup.BUILDING_BLOCKS), "mud_block");
	}
}

Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong?

 

Also I'm using 1.15.2

 

EDIT: Sometimes the onEntityCollision works, but not all the time. It seems to only trigger when an Entity is actually inside one of the blocks and not just touching it.

I suspect the methods work, but that you are mistaken about when they should trigger. onEntityCollision is supposed to only trigger when the entity is inside, and onBlockClicked only triggers for left click, use onBlockActivated for right click.

Hm, overriding onBlockClicked still lets me break the block, and doesn't trigger the function. Should I be testing in survival mode?

Yes. Creative mode bypasses a lot of things. In this case, hijacking left-click and immediately setting the block to air.

Yeah I figured that out cool. Another thing, is there a way I can get control of some code when an entity is touching my block? I'm trying to make a conveyor belt, don't be mistaken by the Mud Block name, that's just a block i'm messing around with.

onEntityWalk detects when an entity is on top of a block, if that is what you need.

Thanks! That should work to my needs.
