So @woven mantle. I've actually created something like that before, there is no way you can check the block when it's landed.
You can debug the EntityChangeBlockEvent, when it's landed it's not a falling block anymore.
woven mantle
isOnGround? I remember debugging it before and it returned once it landed but for some reason i can't get back to that point
Might just use a different way off spawning falling block
left remnant
I kinda forgot how I did that xd.
From my understanding, once FallingBlock lands, it doesn't become an Entity anymore.
It's actually become a Block ig.
woven mantle
Yeahh I think i may have figured it out
left remnant
Let me know how you did that xd.
woven mantle
then what though?
i added it to a arraylist
to check for it not pdc, can use pdc though
left remnant
When it landed, replace it with chest containing the items you want.
Check for the pdc.
woven mantle
how do i replace it though
left remnant
You can set a block in a location.
woven mantle
so i need to set this entity to air? then spawn a block at its location
woven mantle
What does blockstate do?
I'm making it so you right or left click it, it then turns to air and items pop out so just need to change it to a chest, testing it now
how do i use block data so i can refer back to this chest that lands as i need to check for it in an event
left remnant
Ah yes, you can put pdc into a block with this lib, check it out. https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-block-data-persistentdatacontainer-for-blocks.512422/
woven mantle
Okay cool one more question, in the params it asks for block, how do i call this specific block? i'm using event.getblock.settype(Material.Chest)
left remnant
What do you mean?
woven mantle
It's asking for a block as the first args
left remnant
It's event.getBlock.
woven mantle
ahh so now that variable is set to this current block that's been set in this event
so every time it's called thats the way to check for it
left remnant
So basically, when the block landed, set chest at location and put pdc on the block, and then you listen to PlayerInteractEvent, check for the pdc. If the pdc is valid, set the block to AIR and drop the items.
woven mantle
yeah sound, so i do it like a normal pdc check?
left remnant
yeah sound, so i do it like a normal pdc check?
Yes, correct.
woven mantle
Still doesn't change when it lands :/
left remnant
Still doesn't change when it lands :/
Keep the debug, to see If it's still working.
left remnant
Yeah, you need to shade the libs.
woven mantle
How do you do that? i saw that but my maven got no config section?
left remnant
Try to look up on spigot forums how to shade a libs.
woven mantle
kk
left remnant
It's almost midnight on my time so I think I'm gonna be off soon.
left remnant
whats the deal with the big file??
Do you have other libs that you set as dependency?
Custom Block Data shouldn't add that much size.
woven mantle
Nope none
left remnant
Give me your pom
woven mantle
left remnant
You do have other libs.
You have lombok.
Also fix this configuration <shadedPattern>your.package.name.CustomBlockData</shadedPattern>
left remnant
Okay, the file should be much smaller now.
woven mantle
also for the block landing, it sends broadcast but doesn't change
left remnant
Maybe try event.getEntity().getLocation().getBlock().setType(Material.CHEST)
