Solved The lightning bolt event does'nt occur!

I am having issues with the following event not occurring:

Code:java

package com.-----------------------------;
 
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public final class Main extends JavaPlugin {
@Override
public void onEnable(){
getLogger().info("Rod lightning has been Enabled!");
 
}
@Override
public void onDisable(){
getLogger().info("Rod lightning has been Disabled!");
}
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteractBlock(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.FISHING_ROD) {
// Creates a bolt of lightning at a given location.
// Can only create lightning up to 200 blocks away.
player.getWorld().strikeLightning(player.getTargetBlock(null, 200).getLocation());
}
}
}
 

When I compile the code no errors occur, and the plugin loads up fine in the console. However when it comes to testing the code, no lightning appears. What am I doing wrong? Thank-you in advance
Note: "getTargetBlock" is in deprecation, what can I do about this?

 

"getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);" on onEnable

and "extends JavaPlugin implements Listener"

And maybe, check if the block is null or not. I belive if the player looks up, it'll throw an exception

 

Thank-you Il attempt with your suggestion.

I have updated the code, and Im happy to say it now works. Thank-you for your comment about the player looking up, your correct

I Wanted to ask, is it possible to disable the noise of the bolt, or at least lower the volume?

I just wanted to check a few last things ( Im new to Bukkit coding):

•How do I add a cool down before the lightning strike can be used again?
•And Is there anything I can do to deal with the deprecation?
•Can the Bolt volume be lowered?

Thank-you for your time,
Minty
