LivingEntityUseBlockEvent

LivingEntityUseBlockEvent

DEPRECATED — This event is deprecated. Use UseBlockEvent (ECS event) instead.

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.event.events.entity Implements: IEvent<String> Cancellable: No Key type: String

Dispatched after a living entity uses (interacts with) a block. This event has been replaced by the ECS-based UseBlockEvent which provides richer context and cancellation support.

Because the key type is String, this event is dispatched with a keyed dispatch using the block type as the key.

Fields / Accessors

Field	Type	Accessor	Mutable	Notes
ref	Ref<EntityStore>	getRef()	No	ECS reference to the entity that used the block.
blockType	String	getBlockType()	No	The type identifier of the block that was used.

Fired By

• UseBlockInteraction (line 81) via eventBus.dispatchFor() — dispatched after a block use interaction completes. This is a post-use notification and cannot prevent the interaction.

Listening

getEventRegistry().register(LivingEntityUseBlockEvent.class, event -> {
    Ref<EntityStore> entityRef = event.getRef();
    String blockType = event.getBlockType();

    // Handle block use (deprecated -- prefer UseBlockEvent)
});

Migration

This event should be replaced with the ECS-based UseBlockEvent:

// Old (deprecated):
getEventRegistry().register(LivingEntityUseBlockEvent.class, event -> { ... });

// New (preferred):
// Register an EntityEventSystem<EntityStore, UseBlockEvent> instead.
// See UseBlockEvent documentation for the ECS event handler pattern.
