Is it possible to prevent a specific block from being placed on another specific block?

[hearty gyro]

I'm trying to prevent a specific flower being placed on a specific soil block. I know there is the BlockEvents.placed event that is cancellable, but how do I identify the block the flower is being placed on in order to see whether the place should be cancelled?

event.block.down will give you the block below the one you placed

you can check the ID of the block + block below and cancel the event

Thank you, that sounds like what I need! I'll give that a try later

I finally had time to sit down and test this, it worked! Now I just need to figure out why there is a desync issue even with the script being on both client and server

The flower is indeed prevented from being placed and is returned to the inventory, but it looks like it just disappeared from your inventory until you click the slot it was in.

try player.sendInventoryUpdate()

I tried adding that in on both sides, but it didn't change anything. I thought maybe I needed to do a full reboot of the game and now its rolled my script back to a non-working version... wtf??

Ok gonna shut everything down and try saving without the game open, bizarre

=.=

So... I booted the game back up after fixing the script. It was no longer working as intended in game until I did a /reload, even though I didn't change anything

I'm not sure what is going on, I've never seen this before

event.player

[hearty gyro]

Ahh

Its still not preventing the desync

[north torrent]

hmmm

[hearty gyro]

also tried event.player.inventory.markDirty()

[north torrent]

try putting the update before and after the cancel
not sure if the cancel stops execution in 1.20

[hearty gyro]

Tried putting it before and after, both server and client side, no difference

[north torrent]

._.

[hearty gyro]

edit: nevermind I am silly, its still broke but whatever it semi works

Thank you for your help!

[north torrent]

i dont know why its not fixed

one last try
see if this works, or throws errors

event.player.inventoryMenu.broadcastFullState()

thats from an older version

[hearty gyro]

Putting that before the cancel seems to have worked 🥳

The script doesn't always work on game start but uh... it does work after a /reload

Maybe I need to mess with priority

But the desync is fixed, thank you!

oooh
