Solved Block Breaking Effect

hey,

so when you're breaking a block there is a kind of effect so you can see how long until it breakes. How can I achieve this effect on a block. Not client-sided as other players can see this so maybe some packet magic?



I already saw a plugin using this to cache all damage done and when the effect is complete the block breaks.

 

@crolemol take a look into a resource called Particle Lib in resource section, it has block crack effect

 

@mine-care
EDIT: nvm i thought you meant protocollib but i don't mean the particles but the way the block changes when you're breaking it. the lines

 

@SignaturedAren't that just the particles we can see in the picture?

 

No, that's the block break effect. I believe he's referring to the cracking black lines like you requested.

 

@Signatured
oh thx, so how about putting it on a block?

EDIT: wow seems pretty easy thx a lot both, i will post if it didn't work
EDIT 2: so i didn't use the effect lib but the name pushed me in the right direction and i found an nms packet which does exactly what i want.

Here is the code to show the lines:
1.8.x

Code:

    public void sendBreakPacket(World world, Location location, int data) {
        BlockPosition bp = new BlockPosition(location.getBlockX(), location.getBlockY(), location.getBlockZ());
        PacketPlayOutBlockBreakAnimation packet = new PacketPlayOutBlockBreakAnimation(0, bp, data);
        for (Player player : world.getPlayers()){
                ((CraftPlayer)player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);
        }
    }

1.7.9 - 1.7.10 (could work with lower versions but not tested)

Code:

  public static void sendBreakPacket(org.bukkit.World world, Location location, int data{
    PacketPlayOutBlockBreakAnimation packet = new PacketPlayOutBlockBreakAnimation(0, location.getBlockX(), location.getBlockY(), location.getBlockZ(), data);
    for (Player player : world.getPlayers()){
          ((CraftPlayer)player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);
    }
  }

world = the world the block is in
location = the location of the block
data = a integer from 1 to 9 which declares how big the lines are

imports from nms enjoy

 

@crolemol thanks for piblishing your answer back for the world, and yes indeed in 1.8 it is different but in Plugin Developement 1.8 is not supported :/

 

@mine-care
that's why i referenced how to do it in 1.7
