LivingEntityUseBlockEvent

DEPRECATED (forRemoval=true) — This event is deprecated and scheduled for removal. Use UseBlockEvent (ECS event) instead.

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.event.events.entity Implements: IEvent<String> Cancellable: No

Standard event dispatched after a living entity uses (interacts with) a block. This event has been replaced by the ECS-based UseBlockEvent which provides richer context and cancellation support.

Fields / Accessors

Field	Type	Accessor	Mutable	Nullable
ref	Ref<EntityStore>	getRef()	No	No
blockType	String	getBlockType()	No	No

• ref — ECS reference to the entity that used the block.
• blockType — The type identifier of the block that was used.

Fired By

• UseBlockInteraction (line 81) via eventBus dispatchFor — EventBus dispatch after block use (deprecated).

Listening

getEventRegistry().register(LivingEntityUseBlockEvent.class, event -> {
    Ref<EntityStore> entityRef = event.getRef();
    String blockType = event.getBlockType();

    // Handle block use (deprecated -- prefer UseBlockEvent)
});

Migration

Replace usage with the ECS-based UseBlockEvent:

// Old (deprecated):
getEventRegistry().register(LivingEntityUseBlockEvent.class, event -> { ... });

// New (preferred):
// Register an EntityEventSystem<EntityStore, UseBlockEvent> instead.
// See UseBlockEvent documentation for the ECS event handler pattern.
