Nether Water Sizzle Event?

I'm currently making a plugin that will let you place water in the nether, and the easiest way to do this would be canceling an event. If there's no event for this, how would I best go about figuring out where the water block should've been so I can change it to a moving water block?

You'll be forever credited!

 

I haven't really thought about this problem before, but if you can figure out if any event at all is thrown while placing water in the nether, you could cancel it. I think at least there should be the event for interaction while you have the bucket of water in your hand and you try to place it.

 

There's playerInteractEvent. Just make it so that when they right-click a block with a bucket of water, you change the block at the block face to water

 

Code:java

    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){        
        if(event.getClickedBlock().getWorld().getEnvironment() == Environment.NETHER 
                && event.getItem().getType() == Material.WATER_BUCKET) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            event.getClickedBlock().getRelative(event.getBlockFace()).setType(Material.WATER);
        }
    }

I don't know if water sizzles if placed by a plugin, but that would place water properly.

 

Maybe you can use the BlockFromTo-Event

 

That's when water flows, so it wouldn't trigger a BlockFromToEvent

 

Well, since placing water blocks as players (instead of releasing a bukkit) WILL work in the nether, I have no doubt that a plugin can to the same.

 

@Daniel Heppner Well, there you have it. My code should work just fine.

 

It is spelled "bucket" when not talking about the server mod.

 

Yeah, his misspelling/misuse horribly confused me. I thought "releasing a bukkit" was shorthand for "releasing a new Bukkit build," throwing me way off track. Now I understand. My code should work then.

 

Just chiming in on a vaguely relevant note: I've caught myself on at least a dozen occasions using "bukkit" in place of "bucket" in the past week. It grows on you.
