when is onStoppedUsing and usageTick called?

[pseudo escarp]

I'm trying to make an item that levitates the player while they are using the item (right clicking), but these two methods don't seem to ever be called by the game in order to stop the levitating effect.

    public ActionResult use(World world, PlayerEntity user, Hand hand)
    {
        if(user.hasStatusEffect(StatusEffects.LEVITATION)) return ActionResult.PASS;

        user.addStatusEffect(new StatusEffectInstance(StatusEffects.LEVITATION, -1));
        return ActionResult.CONSUME;
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onStoppedUsing(ItemStack stack, World world, LivingEntity user, int remainingUseTicks)
    {
        System.out.println("Stopped");
        if(!user.hasStatusEffect(StatusEffects.LEVITATION)) return false;
        user.removeStatusEffect(StatusEffects.LEVITATION);
        return true;
    }```

Is it usageTick or use that is not being called?

Also according to the documentation you also have to override getMaxUseTime for onStoppedUsing to be called

Where did you see that in the documentation? Couldn't find it anywhere.

usageTick. Use is being called normally. Just put it there for context

I wanted to make my own levitating effect, but use isn't called every tick to make a smooth effect.
Hence why I'd want to try usageTick.

There's this, but I think I was misinterpreting what it says since there's no check for the max usage tick when I follow the call chain, it's just getted from the item and sent as a parameter. It's only checked to call also consume when it reaches 0 but that's irrelevant

Maybe it's not being called due to the isUsingItem check in LivingEntity#tickActiveItemStack

And it seems like the flag behind isUsingItem is manually set in the use method of other items that require holding rclick

More specifically, it's being set in PlayerEntity#setCurrentHand which is called within use

You could try adding a call to that to your method

Oh ok that did work

I'm still having trouble navigating through Minecraft's code
I'm not new to Java but I'm new to Minecraft modding in general

I looked in every possible place and could find that hahaha
