[Help]HiddenTreasure in block

When someone is mining there is a very slim chance, say 1 in 100 of a block behind where you're mining will turn into a chest and spawn a random firework , with configurable items randomly placed into it.

The basic idea would be in a config set the 'chance ratio'...and the items it can possibly have in it.

Have it check the blocks around the one being mined, and if smoothstone is being mined, and it has say 6 smoothstone around it, one of them can become a chest, so you don't get weird random 'chest in mid air' or 'chest spawned into lava' on break.

I attempted to create it, but my bukkit programming is a bit too limited for this.

My basic line of logic was this:
'on_break' of smoothstone, check chance to create chest
check surrounding blocks, if 3+ smoothstone blocks are found in a 3x3x3 cube centered on on_break event block, replace one with chest and populate with items/spawn a firework to tell the player they found hidden treasure.

I was wondering how would the code look like?
Would anyone be willing to give me a example of the code if they could code it up for me so i could take a look at it.

That would be awesome

Thanks, Killer5252

 

Please don't expect people to write code for you very often but I'm in a good mood this evening so I've written out the majority of the code (It's a bit inefficient but ultimately it's the best way to go about it)

I haven't done the parts that you can google such as populating a chest with items and spawning fireworks but hopefully this should get you on the right track. I wrote this with an IDE so it is syntactically correct

Code:java

private Random r;
@EventHandler
public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent evt)
{
//initialise the random variable!
if(r == null) r = new Random();
 
//block is stone
if(evt.getBlock().getType() == Material.STONE)
{
int chance = 50; //50% chance of a block being a chest
Block block = evt.getBlock();
 
//loop through all directions
for(BlockFace bf : BlockFace.values())
{
//get the block in that direction
Block block2check = block.getRelative(bf);
 
//if it's not stone then just exit because it means one of the blocks around it is not stone
//it will also allow air only because there is no way to break a block where there is stone in every single direction of it
if(block2check.getType() != Material.STONE || block2check.getType() != Material.AIR)
{
return;
}
}
 
 
if(r.nextInt(100) >= chance)
{
//high enough chance! make it a chest
//for now, just grab block above it and set it to a chest
//TODO implement it so that a chest will spawn in any direction rather than just above it.
Block chest = block.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
chest.setType(Material.CHEST);
 
//fireworks & fill chest
}
}
}
 

 

This is the only time i will be asking someone to write me code
Wow... Thank you much Bart
