PlayerInteractEvent

DEPRECATED — This event is deprecated. Use UseBlockEvent (ECS event) for block interactions and PlayerMouseButtonEvent for mouse input handling instead.

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.event.events.player Extends: PlayerEvent<String> Implements: IEvent<String>, ICancellable Cancellable: Yes

Previously dispatched when a player interacted with the world. No active instantiation sites exist in the current codebase — this event is retained for backward compatibility but is never fired. It has been replaced by UseBlockEvent (for block interactions) and PlayerMouseButtonEvent (for input handling).

No active dispatch sites found in the current codebase. This event is deprecated and no longer fired by the server.

Listening

// DEPRECATED -- do not use in new code
getEventRegistry().register(PlayerInteractEvent.class, event -> {
    InteractionType action = event.getActionType();
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    // This listener will never fire -- no dispatch sites exist
});

Migration

• For block interactions — use the ECS-based UseBlockEvent.
• For mouse input handling — use PlayerMouseButtonEvent.
