Get Location Near Player

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to make a landmine plugin. I set the landmine by shooting an egg at a block and a config file stores the location like this:

Code:java

double eggx = egg.getLocation().getBlockX();
            double eggy = egg.getLocation().getBlockY();
            double eggz = egg.getLocation().getBlockZ();
            getConfig().set("eggs.eggx." + egg.getLocation(), eggx);
            getConfig().set("eggs.eggy." + egg.getLocation(), eggy);
            getConfig().set("eggs.eggz." + egg.getLocation(), eggz);
            saveConfig();

I want to know how to get if the player is like 1 0r 2 blocks next to that location in the PlayerMoveEvent so I can trigger an explosion. Thanks for any help!

 

getNearbyEntities(2, 2, 2)

 

Just use egg.getLocation().getNearbyEntities(2,0,2);

.getNearbyEntities doesn't work inside of the ProjectileHitEvent.

Look up at the post above it.

 

PieMan456 either spawn an entity like an arrow or experience orb and use the method, or loop over the players that are in that world and check .getLocation().distanceSquared(blockloc)

How would I spawn an entity?

 

if you already have a Location object:

Code:java

location.getWorld().spawnEntity(location, EntityType.<your type>);
