Solved Iron Ore > Iron Ingot

I'm trying to use a BlockPlaceEvent for when a player places an ore, it breaks naturally (breakNaturally()) and it's been going pretty good until I got to Iron Ore and Gold Ore.

My problem is, when I use breakNaturally(), it just breaks into it's self again (the ore), but I want it to break into an ingot instead.

Is there some sort of method for this? I've done some research and saw nothing, but I thought maybe you guys would have an answer. Thanks!

 

How about cancel the event and spawn iron ingot in place ? Just my thought.

Possibly something like this?

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onOreplace(BlockPlaceEvent e){
        Material block = e.getBlock().getType();
 
        if(block.equals(Material.IRON_ORE)){
            e.getBlock().getDrops().clear();
            e.getBlock().getDrops().add(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_INGOT));
            e.getBlock().breakNaturally();
        }
        if(block.equals(Material.GOLD_ORE)){
            e.getBlock().getDrops().clear();
            e.getBlock().getDrops().add(new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_INGOT));
            e.getBlock().breakNaturally();
        }
    }

Yes, I have tried something like that, and it didn't seem to cancel the drops nor spawn the item. I'm thinking because that's mainly for BlockBreakEvent, not BlockPlaceEvent; but I could be wrong.

Here's what I've tried:

Code:java

if (e.getBlock().getType().equals(Material.IRON_ORE)) {
    e.getBlock().breakNaturally();
    e.getBlock().getDrops().remove(Material.IRON_ORE);
        e.getBlock().getDrops().add(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_INGOT));
}

(like what Kassestral suggested)
But no bananas.

 

In the code you tried, your breaking the iron ore, before changing the drops you need to first change the drops, then break it naturally

 

Kassestral
I see what you mean, so I reversed them and tested it. But it still didn't work. It seems like it's ignoring the remove and add methods, and just breaking the block. Bit of a honey badger this error is...

 

Give me like 5 minutes to test some methods of sorting tho out

 

Kassestral
Okay, I'm testing out a few as well, so you're not alone ;D

Here this works, I tested

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onOreplace(BlockPlaceEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        Material block = e.getBlock().getType();
        Location l = e.getBlock().getLocation();
 
        if(block.equals(Material.IRON_ORE)){
            p.getWorld().getBlockAt(l).setType(Material.AIR);
            p.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(l, new ItemStack(Material.IRON_INGOT));
        }
        if(block.equals(Material.GOLD_ORE)){
            p.getWorld().getBlockAt(l).setType(Material.AIR);
            p.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(l, new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_INGOT));
        }
    }

 

Kassestral
Good stuff, don't know why I didn't think of that.
Thanks!
