Cancel dirt to grass

So what I'm trying to do is cancel when dirt turns into grass. Not when grass turns to dirt!

I'm trying to use dirt as a block so it doesn't turn to grass.

I'v tried this:

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onBlockPhysics(BlockFadeEvent event){
       if (event.getBlock().getType() == Material.DIRT) {
           event.setCancelled(true);
       }
   }

 

If I'm not mistaken, this should work: If the material is dirt, make it grass instead of canceling the event. (This WILL cause strain on the server when starting new worlds and such, and there's more than likely an easier way to do it, but it's worth a shot).

I suppose you could even check to see that ONLY if the dirt block is in contact with an air block only THEN shall it change the dirt block to a grass block. (This could still cause strain on the server, but I wouldn't suppose it would cause too much. I'm not great at this yet and I'm still learning, so I could be all wrong xP)

 

I'm trying to cancel when dirt turns grass.

Not when grass turns to dirt.

 

My bad, I read this wrong. It's 2:23 AM. (Bit tired but don't wanna sleep.)

 

#bump!

 

I'd say you look at the wrong event. As the BlockFadeEvent gets triggered if the blocks.. fades

You could look at these 2 events and see if one of them maybe helps

BlockFormEvent
BlockSpreadEvent

 

You're using the wrong event. BlockSpreadEvent is called when dirt turns to grass (the adjacent grass is, in effect, spreading).

 

Im assuming BlockFormEvent works?
Testing it now.

 

The actual event fired is a BlockSpreadEvent (see BlockGrass in Craftbukkit), which is a subclass of BlockFormEvent.

 

Or, as desht said, blockspreadevent. See javadocs.

 

He tells you exactly which event is being called and you use another one? Whut?
