New to modding, and I'm trying to make a climbing feature, so if you jump next to a certain block, you'll start climbing. The problem is: I don't know how to identify a block next to a player, only directly under. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

BlockPos.offset() or pos.up/down/n/s/w/e

How would I use BlockPos.offset to find a Block value?

The player has a Position value. Use it.

it returns the new position. Through World.getBlockState(pos) you can get the blockstate, and then get the block from it.

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = main.MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.FORGE, value = Dist.CLIENT)
public class ModClientEvents {

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onJumpNearStone(LivingEvent.LivingJumpEvent event) {
        LivingEntity player = event.getEntityLiving();
        World world = player.getEntityWorld();
        BlockPos pos = player.func_233580_cy_();
        if (world.getBlockState(pos.add(1, 0, 0)).getBlock() == Blocks.STONE)  {
            main.LOGGER.info(pos.add(1, 0, 0));
        } else if (world.getBlockState(pos.add(-1, 0, 0)).getBlock() == Blocks.STONE) {
            main.LOGGER.info(pos.add(-1, 0, 0));
        } else if (world.getBlockState(pos.add(0, 0, 1)).getBlock() == Blocks.STONE) {
            main.LOGGER.info(pos.add(0, 0, 1));
        } else if (world.getBlockState(pos.add(0, 0, -1)).getBlock() == Blocks.STONE) {
            main.LOGGER.info(pos.add(0, 0, -1));
        }
    }
}

It's probably very inefficient, but it works (mostly). My only problem is I must've messed up some code with the player, so instead of tracking only the player, it tracks every entity. I noticed this when I kept getting random messages when I wasn't jumping, but turning off mob spawning fixed the issue. Help?

The event is called LivingJumpEvent, it is triggered whenever a LivingEntity jumps. You can use instanceof syntax to check if the entity is player.

I tested it and the code tracks all entities, not just the player. How can I make LivingJumpEvent only track the player?

Put in a if statement checking if it is the player?

Nevermind, I'm dumb. It's fixed now. Thanks for the help!
