Item entity detection

[logan121]

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.

[logan121]

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

 

[Draco18s]

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

[logan121]

Sorry for the lack of detail.

Above a certain block (lava) would be ideal. 

[Draco18s]

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?
