How do I detect if a player rightclicks using an item

[Turnrp]

I need help with figuring if the player has Right Clicked using the Backpack Item to send an event and trigger a container to store Items 

[Draco18s]

Look at the available methods to override in the Item class and IForgeItem interface.

Why did you bother censoring a method call?

Also that is not the recommended way of setting properties, set them when you call the constructor, not in the constructor

[Turnrp]

Im really new to this you guys mabye say little simpler lol

your Item extends the Item class, right? the Item class implements the IForgeItem interface

and that interface provides some methods, go to the interface implementation (you can do that in your IDE) and look at the methods the interface provides

Also, don't try coding when you're really tired, go get some rest

in any IDE really, you can hover any class or interface, right click it, hover on "Go To" and then Go to Definition

That's something different

 

So, okay

you have your BackpackBase class right?

it extends the net.minecraft.Item class, which in turn extends the IForgeItem interface

 

the interface provides a few methods you can override, in the case of doing something upon right-click you have: onItemUse, and onItemRightClick

 

onItemRightClick detects any right click

onItemUse detects right clicks on blocks

IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment

 

Do you know Java or are you jumping into modding without prior knowledge of programming?

[Turnrp]

So i would put IForgeItem.onItemRightClick?

Kinda but i hae done a lot of coding in the past and i really like this so im learning while im doing

no, you override it

your Backpack is an implementation of that interface (check out encapsulation and interfaces in Object Oriented Programming for more guidance)

 

so in your Backpack class, you can override it

(if you don't know what this means search for overriding methods in Java)

the IForgeItem method that you wish to override

 

it seems you're not so keen on how interfaces work, so you can search up OOP in Java to get a better idea of what's going on (understading OOP is really necessary for minecraft modding)

Alright ill go find some youtujbe video or something and search that up

If you are trying to learn how to mod without knowing how to program (Java preferred, but any language), then you are going to have a lot of trouble.
