So I want the player to drop 16 blocks of dirt when crouching(yes I know, very funny) but the items just won't spawn. The event definitelly fires.

Here's the code.

PlayerEntity p = event.getPlayer();
ItemEntity dirt = new ItemEntity(p.world, p.getPosX(), p.getPosY(), p.getPosZ(), new ItemStack(Items.DIRT, 16));
dirt.setLocationAndAngles(p.getPosX(), p.getPosY(), p.getPosZ(), 0.0F, 0.0F);
p.world.addEntity(dirt);

I see nothing wrong with the code, could you post more context?

There isn't much more to it but sure, here's the whole class.

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = FirstMod.MOD_ID, bus = Bus.FORGE)
public class DropDirtOnCrouchEvent {
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void dropDirtOnCrouchEvent(InputUpdateEvent event) {
		if(event.getMovementInput().sneaking) {
			PlayerEntity p = event.getPlayer();
			ItemEntity dirt = new ItemEntity(p.world, p.getPosX(), p.getPosY(), p.getPosZ(), new ItemStack(Items.DIRT, 16));
			dirt.setLocationAndAngles(p.getPosX(), p.getPosY(), p.getPosZ(), 0.0F, 0.0F);
			p.world.addEntity(dirt);
		}
	}
}

I'm pretty sure that the error has to be in the code snippet I posted above tho(I tried adding a potion effect to the player to check if the event fires and that worked)

InputUpdateEvent is a client only event, you can not add entities to the world from the client.

Oh, thanks. Guess I will have to read into packet transfer.

You could try to listen to the PlayerTickEvent and use the isSneaking() method on the player. That way you would avoid sending extra packets.

That works. Thanks, you just saved my day.

No problem, glad I could help!
