Interface IAnimatedBlockHook

public interface IAnimatedBlockHook

Represents a hook for IAnimatedBlocks.

The animated block hook works similarly to the IAnimationHook, but for every block in an animation instead of one per animation.

Creating a subclass of this interface allows hooking into the animated blocks themselves. Subclasses of this interface can override methods for specific events. For example, overriding the preMove(RotatedPosition) method allows the hook to perform some action every time the animated block is about to be moved. There are also methods for when an animated block (re)spawns, killing, block manipulations, etc.

When creating such a hook, you can register a factory for it with the AnimatedBlockHookManager. An instance of that manager can be obtained using IAnimatedArchitecturePlatform.getAnimatedBlockHookManager(). Specifically, this class is used to register subclasses of IAnimatedBlockHookFactory. It is legal for the factory to create a new hook for each animated block, to reuse existing hooks between any number of animated blocks, or to return null, in which case the hook will not be registered for the given animated block.

Example usage:

private void registerMyAnimatedBlockHookFactory(IAnimatedArchitecturePlatform animatedArchitecturePlatform)
{
    animatedArchitecturePlatform.getAnimatedBlockHookManager().registerFactory(MyAnimatedBlockHook::new);
}

private static final class MyAnimatedBlockHook implements IAnimatedBlockHook
{

    private final IAnimatedBlock animatedBlock;

    public MyAnimatedBlockHook(IAnimatedBlock animatedBlock)
    {
        this.animatedBlock = animatedBlock;
    }

    @Override
    public String getName()
    {
        return "MyAnimatedBlockHook";
    }

    @Override
    public void preSpawn()
    {
        // Some code that runs before the animated block is spawned.
    }
}

Note that the IAnimatedBlockHookFactory has a type parameter. The type has to be a subclass of IAnimatedBlock. This can be used to specialize the type of animated block for the specific platform. For example, animated blocks on the Spigot platform will be subclasses of the IAnimatedBlockSpigot interface, which adds some methods specific to the Spigot platform.

Method Details

getName

String getName()

Returns the name of this hook to use for logging purposes.

Returns:

The name of this hook.

default void postSpawn()

Fires after an animated block has been spawned. Respawning is not counted. Use postRespawn() for that.

This is always called on the main thread.

preRespawn

default void preRespawn()

Fires right before an animated block will be respawned.

This is always called on the main thread.

postRespawn

default void postRespawn()

Fires after an animated block has been respawned.

This is always called on the main thread.

preKill

default void preKill()

Fires right before an animated block will be killed.

Respawning does not count.

This is always called on the main thread.

postKill

default void postKill()

Fires after an animated block was killed.

Respawning does not count.

This is always called on the main thread.

preDeleteOriginalBlock

default void preDeleteOriginalBlock()

Fires right before the original block that serves as template for the animated block will be removed from the world.

This is always called on the main thread.

postDeleteOriginalBlock

default void postDeleteOriginalBlock()

Fires after the original block that serves as template for the animated block has been removed from the world.

This is always called on the main thread.

preBlockPlace

default void preBlockPlace()

This is always called on the main thread.

postMove

default void postMove(RotatedPosition newPosition)

Fires after this animated block has been moved.

This may be called asynchronously.

Parameters:

newPosition - The position the animated block was moved to.

preMove

default void preMove(RotatedPosition newPosition)

Fires before this animated block will be moved.

This may be called asynchronously.

Parameters:

newPosition - The position the animated block will move to.
