Getting block under the cursor/getting highest block

There was some functionality in hMod for this, and I want to port over a plugin that I had made for my server. How can I get the block under the client's cursor (and I'm not talking about the outlined blocks, I want ones that are far away as well). I also want to be able to get the highest block.

 

For the highest block you can just iterate from 128 height downward till you get to a block that's not AIR.

 

Your question is terribly unclear, pick what you want it to do exactly and reword your question please.

 

For getting blocks far away, try asking Nijikokun for his iStick targeting code.

 

You probably want:

Code:

int height = getServer().getWorlds().get(worldNumber).getHighestBlockYAt(int x, int z);

This info is used for light calculations and is pre-calculated and stored with the chunk data on the disk.

You can also use it for determining where to put snow.

It is probable that it ignores glass blocks, which is good or bad depending on what you want to use it for.

 

So that's where the world.e() went?

 

Yeah probably .
