Is there a way to detect a item entity that is spawned into the world? 

For example,there is a dirt block onto the flaw, id like to be able to detect that.

 

Yes, exactly which method you want depends on what you are trying to do.

And I do not understand what you are trying to do.

If there is a item entity (dirt) on the floor, i need to be able to detect it somehow.

 

From what context? Do you want any dirt items any where in the world? Only around the player? Above a certain block?

Sorry for the lack of detail.

Above a certain block (lava) would be ideal. 

Presumably its about to contact the lava, which means it will take damage, and die.

Both of which are detectable events.

It doesn't burn unfortunetly.

What would I put in the if statement? I thought itd be ItemEntity, but thats not there if im doing e.ItemEntity?

 

@SubscribeEvent
public void onEntityJoinWorld(EntityJoinWorldEvent e) {
    if()
}

Event.getEntity() then check if the entity is an instance of ItemEntity.

java: cannot find symbol
  symbol:   method getEntity()
  location: class net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.Ev

 

@SubscribeEvent
public void onEntityConstruct(EntityJoinWorldEvent e) {
    if (e != null) return;

    Event.getEntity();
    
    }

Sorry to be a pain, but i end up getting the same error

 

@SubscribeEvent
public void onEntityJoinWorld(EntityJoinWorldEvent e) {
    if (e != null) return;

    e.getEntity();
    }

 

 

java: cannot find symbol
  symbol:   method getEntity()
  location: variable e of type net.minecraftforge.event.entity.EntityJoinWorldEvent

 

if (e != null) return;

Whats the point of this line? Also, which forge version are you using?
