Get location of dropped item

I have done this:

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
public void onDrop(PlayerDropItemEvent event) {
    Location loc = event.getItemDrop().getLocation();
}
 

..but this gets the location the player dropped it from.

Is there any way to actually get where the item dropped to?

Thanks

 

try this:
@EventHandler
public void onDrop(ItemSpawnEvent event) {
Location loc = event.getLocation();
}

 

I dunno if that will work, because when you watch a player drop something, you can see that the items are actually spawned at the location of the player.

JazzaG, you can probably do something along the lines of :
1. Get the direction the player was facing
2. move the x/z 1 or 2 blocks in that direction
3. keep subtracting from the y until you find a block that isn't air.

And you will probably find your items

 

Kinda true

Thanks for the reply.

Isn't ItemSpawnEvent called on chunk generation as well? I just tried broadcasting the location so I can see what's going on, and everytime I moved, it spammed the console :S

Sorry for my ignorance, but is there a way to do this with PlayerDropItemEvent?

I was thinking of doing something like that, but won't it not find it as it is not a placed block?
