Get Entity of Thrown Snowball or Arrow

I need to get the entity snowball or arrow right after it is fired, I am currently trying to use onPlayerInteract but not making much progress.

 

Here this is part of my plugin craftinglogger

Code:

            try {
                BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("plugins/BlockLog/block.logs", true));
                out.write("["+formattedDate+"] "+ block.getType() + " placed by "+player.getName()+" at (x-"+block.getX()+", y-"+block.getY()+", z-"+block.getZ()+")");
                out.newLine();
                out.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {

This is a basic idea to finding when the arrow/snowball or what ever is thrown

you could always change this to say *used By* *thrown By* etc

Thank you for the reply. However I don't think this is what I am looking for. I need the entity of the snowball/arrow while it is in flight (right after it is created and given velocity).

 

oh wow, now thats complex . sorry i wouldnt know how to get into that.

 

I'm not sure if you can grab it normally. However, you can just cancel the right click event and then fire the arrow yourself using player.shootArrow(). That function returns an Arrow that you can then do whatever you want to.
