Detecting light level of blocks on block break

We use a custom ore alerting plugin after being unsatisfied with existing ones but I can't seem to get the light level to ever work.

Foundboxx uses the player interact event to get the

Code:

Block rela = block.getRelative(event.getBlockFace());

but we prefer the blockBreak event, which doesn't seem to have a way to get the same data.

When I used

Code:

event.getBlock().getLightLevel();

for the block break event it always returns 0.

Is there any way to get the same face data, or the correct light level data, from the block after it's been broken? I'd really rather not use the player interact event.

 

you can do this:

Code:

on block break
  saves the current block data and other stats (block = block.getBlockState())
  set the block to air
  gets the light data
  restores the block (block.update())
return the value top your code

 

Works perfectly, thanks!
