Solved Can someone explain BlockBurnEvent to me?

According to the documentation BlockBurnEvent is fired when a block is burned:

The problem however is that it is not fired when the blocks I ignite with flint and steel disappear(leaves). Is this a bug or is the documentation wrong?

Works for me.
Try this:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onBurn(BlockBurnEvent event){
        String blockburnt = event.getBlock().getType().toString();
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(blockburnt+" has burned!");
    }

And make sure you register the event on your onEnable() method.

 

Does it make a difference if I have @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST) ?
Because that's pretty much the only difference :/

Edit: that is indeed the problem, but do you know why?

Unless you have other plugins with MONITOR overriding your BlockBurnEvent it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. Like I said, I tested that and burnt a tree down, it broadcasted this:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

 

The documentation is right - what you actually want is the BlockIgniteEvent, which is fired when a block is first set on fire.

BlockBurnEvent is for when a block burns away completely (e.g. a wood block which has been burning for several seconds turns to an air block).

Never mind - I misread your original post. I see you are indeed talking about blocks burning away completely.
