Player for ClientChatEvent [ solved ]

[Kemuri Senpai]

I am catching Message send from Client and want to cancel it if it vontains some special words. This is fine.

 

However, I also want to write text back to the player ( also Client Side ).

 

Normally I use

´´´player.sendStatusMessage( new StringTextComponent("[ §1Place§r ] Set brightness to §4§l", brightness ), (false));´´´

But "entity" is not returned by ClientChatEvent... So, how?

 

(Minecraft 1.15.2)

If the player is sending it from their client, the client player exists locally within the Minecraft instance using Minecraft#player.

Okaaay,... I am very new to modding and java in complete...

How do I access  Minecraft#player?

If I use "PlayerEntity player = ( PlayerEntity ) Minecraft.player;"

it says "non-static variable player cannot be referenced from a static context"

Okay, I guess I should for now go and study more java

Because though it's obvious, I still don't know what you mean

You need an instance of the Minecraft class to access non-static methods, this is basic Java knowledge.

Now, Minecraft is a singleton. It should be very obvious from that what you need to do to get the instance.

So... It will work with

Minecraft.getInstance ( ).player ?

Sorry for this dumb questions, I was modding for Minecraft about half a year only using Scratch-like programm (MCreator).

I know almost nothing about Java and coding, so this all is foreign terrain to me 🤷‍♂️

I already read on forums: for 1.12.2 it's

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer

But for 1.15.2, "Minecraft" has no function "getMinecraft"

Nope 😅

I am now not able to test it, so it was a question

[Kemuri Senpai]

Yes, thank you all, it worked perfectly; in addition, short question: while REACH_DISTANCE is for blocks, how do I change it for entities? Like in the Reach Hack
