Class InteractionManager

java.lang.Object
me.hackware.api.InteractionManager
public final class InteractionManager extends Object
Centralized interaction manager — item use, entity attacks, use-action lifecycle.

Block placement and block interaction are handled by BlockPlacementManager. This manager covers:

  • Item use (pearls, potions, food, fireworks, XP bottles, etc.)
  • Entity attacks (crystals, players, mobs)
  • Use-action control (stop/release using item)

    • get

      public static InteractionManager get()

    • init

      public void init()
      Register event handlers. Call once during mod init.

    • useItem

      public net.minecraft.world.InteractionResult useItem(String caller, net.minecraft.world.InteractionHand hand)
      Uses the item currently in the given hand via gameMode.useItem. Handles prediction internally.
      Parameters:
      caller - descriptive source (module name)
      hand - which hand to use
      Returns:
      the interaction result

    • sendUseItemPacket

      public void sendUseItemPacket(String caller, net.minecraft.world.InteractionHand hand, float yaw, float pitch)
      Sends a raw ServerboundUseItemPacket via startPrediction. Use this when you need packet-level control (e.g. pearl throws with custom rotation).
      Parameters:
      caller - descriptive source
      hand - which hand
      yaw - look yaw for the packet
      pitch - look pitch for the packet

    • attack

      public void attack(String caller, net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity target)
      Attacks an entity via gameMode.attack. This is the standard vanilla attack path (includes swing, sounds, knockback).
      Parameters:
      caller - descriptive source
      target - the entity to attack

    • sendAttackPacket

      public void sendAttackPacket(String caller, net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity target)
      Sends a raw attack packet without going through gameMode.attack. Useful for silent attacks that bypass vanilla's attack cooldown/swing.
      Parameters:
      caller - descriptive source
      target - the entity to attack

    • stopUsingItem

      public void stopUsingItem(String caller)
      Stops the player's current item use action (e.g. interrupts eating, bow draw).

    • releaseUsingItem

      public void releaseUsingItem(String caller)
      Releases the item being used (e.g. fires bow, throws trident). Different from stopUsingItem(java.lang.String) — this triggers the release action.
