Mine blocks around a block

I'm making a plugin where if you mine a block, it also mines the blocks left, right, up, and down from the mined block. I'm having problems finding which blocks to mine, as the directions north, east, south, and west change depending on where the player is in relation to block.

Could someone help me?

 

Block#getRelative(BlockFace)

 

@SuperOriginal Like I said in the post, I can't just use that as I don't know where the player is mining the block from.

 

BlockBreakEvent

 

@Rabrg Block positions relative to another block don't change based on where a player mines it.

 

@Ambamore2000 That does not help me with my problem at all.

 

You're kidding me.
event.getBlock

 

@SuperOriginal I can't do north, east, etc as north could be forward or backward instead of left or right.

@Ambamore2000 Did you even read the post? I need help finding which blocks to mine, not finding the block mine event.

 

@Ambamore2000 basic assistance isn't needed.

@Rabrg I found this post in another thread, you may be able to get this working with a block's location

 

Ofc I read the post, I was just trying to help with this here:

unless I understood this post wrong

EDIT: I understood that post wrong

 

@Ambamore2000 you understood wrong @SuperOriginal I'll try that, thanks

@Ambamore2000 I tried both that and the one underneath it. The first was getting x coordinates ~10 off and z coordinates ~5 off, and the second wasn't taking directions into consideration correctly and was getting relatively random results.

Still looking for help

 

Bump, still need help.

Pseudo code for getting up and down blocks.

Code:

World world = event.getWorld();
Location location = event.getBlock().getLocation();

Block blockUp = world.getBlockAt(location.x, location.y + 1, location.z);
Block blockDown= world.getBlockAt(location.x, location.y - 1, location.z);

But, I doubt that's what you're having trouble on.
Alright so let me get this straight, you want to get the location of the right and left blocks of what block the player mined. But, this is based off of the players location relative to the block correct? If not, wouldn't you just get the blocks besides the block being broken that you define as right or left. I.E.

Code:

Block blockRight = world.getBlockAt(location.x + 1, location.y location.z);
Block blockLeft = world.getBlockAt(location.x - 1, location.y location.z);

 

@BorisTheTerrible No, because that will get the block in front and behind of the block being mined instead of left and right half the time, depending on the player's direction.

 

@Rabrg
Then you are going to have to break out the mathmatics and figure out a way to calculated which ones are left and right based on the players location.

 

Take a look through how PowerMining does it: https://bitbucket.org/bloodyshade/p.../common/org/bitbucket/bloodyshade/?at=default
Hint: It uses PlayerInteractEvent to get the direction and uses it in BlockBreakEvent. Not sure quite how it works, but it does.
