Swing arm/tool on use

[jonaskohl]

I am using the following snippet inside of an onBlockClicked event listener to strip a custom log.

Spoiler

@SubscribeEvent
public static void onBlockClicked(PlayerInteractEvent.RightClickBlock event) {
    final int FLAG_BLOCK_UPDATE = 1;
    final int FLAG_SEND_TO_CLIENTS = 2;
    final int FLAG_FORCE_RERENDER_MAIN_THREAD = 8;

    if (event.getItemStack().getItem() instanceof AxeItem) {
        World world = event.getWorld();
        BlockPos blockpos = event.getPos();
        BlockState blockstate = world.getBlockState(blockpos);
        Block block = BLOCK_STRIPPING_MAP.get(blockstate.getBlock());
        if (block != null) {
            PlayerEntity playerentity = event.getPlayer();
            world.playSound(playerentity, blockpos, SoundEvents.ITEM_AXE_STRIP, SoundCategory.BLOCKS, 1.0F, 1.0F);
            if (!world.isRemote) {
                world.setBlockState(blockpos, block.getDefaultState()
                        .with(RotatedPillarBlock.AXIS,
                              blockstate.get(RotatedPillarBlock.AXIS)),
                         FLAG_BLOCK_UPDATE | FLAG_SEND_TO_CLIENTS | FLAG_FORCE_RERENDER_MAIN_THREAD);
                if (playerentity != null) {
                    playerentity.swingArm(event.getHand());
                    event.getItemStack().damageItem(1, playerentity, (entityIn) -> {
                        entityIn.sendBreakAnimation(event.getHand());
                    });
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Everything works as expected, except the axe doesn't "swing" as it does with vanilla blocks. It just does nothing. I tried using

playerentity.swingArm(event.getHand());

but that does absolutely nothing. How can I achieve a swinging tool?

Why don't you use the onBlockActivated method of your custom log class to handle this? You can take a look at this template class that represents a stripable log: https://github.com/Beethoven92/BetterEndForge/blob/master/src/main/java/mod/beethoven92/betterendforge/common/block/template/StripableLogBlockTemplate.java
