Solved Prison Auto-Sell

I am making a prison plugin for a person, how would I make it so when they break a block it would give them money instead of the block.

Essentials and Vault (fyi)

 

Use the BlockBreakEvent.
Check if the block someone is mining is the one you want to be mineable, if yes, set it to Material.AIR. (You might also want to cancel the event to prevent drops.)
Then use your economy code to give someone money.

 

ok thx

How to cancel event?

EDIT by Timtower: merged posts

 

event.setCanceled(true);

 

thx

 

no problemo

No, that is not the way to do it.

Code:

Event#.getDrops().clear();

Minecraft stores all ItemStacks that It should drop in an Array list. Just clear all the drops.

 

well, both ways work, your way is simpler, but for new people, more complecated

 

I'm not sure why I'm getting this feeling but I feel like clearing the drops would be more resource friendly than setting it to air and canceling on every block break.

Also, if you've figured out what to do and have gotten this workng, please mark the thread as solved
