Which event is called when an anvil breaks?

Well, title explains the question :3

Try BlockBreakEvent

 

No, that's when a player breaks a block. There might not be an event for this...

 

Well it isn't "PlayerBreakBlockEvent" so it could be extended to other things.

 

I don't see how I can check if the break was a anvil due to the damage or if a player breaks it by hand

First you need to know if it actually triggers BlockBreakEvent in that case.

 

Maybe listen for the sound packet?

 

I dont think it will trigger, as BlockBreakEvent is for when a player breaks a block..

 

RainoBoy97
Why don't you actually test it to be sure ? ...
But anyway, if there is no event, submit a feature request in: https://bukkit.atlassian.net

 

I gave it a go, and no - BlockBreakEvent is not triggered.

In fact, there is currently no Bukkit event that can intercept it - just take a look at the source code.

But you could intercept packet 61 (WORLD_EVENT) and check if its event ID is 1020:

Code:

2013-03-24 23:33:04 [INFO] [ProtocolLib] Sent WORLD_EVENT (61) to aadnk:
{ a = 1020, b = 0, c = 58, d = 109, e = 197, f = false }

 

@EventHandler
public void anvil(EntityDamageEvent e){
if(e.getEntity().equals(Material.ANVIL)){
e.setCancelled(true);

}

}

 

lol what

 

it works

 

TheRecovery007 Wait WHAT?? EntityDamageEvent works for breaking block?? Bukkit must be crazy...

 

Runs code when an entity is damaged.
If the entity that caused the damage is an anvil, the event is cancelled.

It should be BlockBreakEvent, lol daavko

 

I doubt that. Entity != Material

Also I think that it would be more like a BlockBreakEvent.

 

You may want to listen to the inventory events and from there getting the holder and check the durability or data of it, however that isn't much good as I haven't seen a way to determine when a item is actually anviled (cause thats needed because it changes the durability) and when the durability changes because it looks more on a random chance, it does not always change the anvils data when anviling a item

Edit

Alright by just thinking I was just making it complicated.

you could easily do something like this but it may fails:

use InventoryOpenEvent and check if the holder is a anvil if thats is true, store that information somewhere.

now as follows you listen to the InventoryCloseEvent and check if the same holder is still a instance of a anvil if it is then use the getBlock() and check if its air, if its not a anvil there ya go.

 

Paradrakor I know it should. But as these people stated earlier, BlockBreakEvent is triggered only when player destroys a block. Also, I was responding to TheRecovery007 's silly idea of EntityDamageEvent. If you don't feel like scrolling up a bit, here's what he stated:

 

Fairly certain that Material.ANVIL (or Material in general for that matter) does not extend Entity, therefore e.getEntity() can never return a Material, which will never be equal to Material.ANVIL.
