Will ChickenLayEggEvent ever get implemented?

There are two PR's for ChickenLayEggEvent:
https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit/pull/1275
https://github.com/Bukkit/Bukkit/pull/976
I could not find any evidence of it ever getting implemented, does anyone know if it ever will? It would be such a helpful addition.

 

123isme1 Both of the PR's got closed, properly because his auto-formatting replaced all the whitespaces with tabs and therefore messed up the commit.
Here is a PR that is better: https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit/pull/1197
Read through the comments, but it seems like the PR should be accepted if the changes are made.
And BTW, here is an issue requesting the feature: https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-4558

Hopefully it will, it looks like it got revived only 4 days ago.

cough cough ItemSpawnEvent

 

ya... but it would be easier to use ChickenLayEggEvent because you already know it is an egg, and it came from a chicken

 

instanceof check much

 

Yes, I would lie to not have to do that.
If you setCancel(true); ItemSpawnEvent will it also cancel the "plop" sound?

 

No. For that, use ProtocolLib. The sound is made before the egg is spawned.

 

I never considered ProtocolLib, I will have to try that

I got confused when when reading the javadocs, I dont get ProtocolLib

Have you looked at any examples?

 

If you are looking to capture the egg hatching event you can use this:

Code:

public void eggHatchEvent(PlayerEggThrowEvent e){
    if(e.isHatching()){
       
    }

 

thats only when throwing eggs that 'might' spawn a chicken.
As for protocollib its an external lib but extremely useful

 

Code:java

public void eggHatchEvent(PlayerEggThrowEvent e){
e.setHatching(true);
if(e.isHatching()){
...
}
}

You can also just do this if you want them to hatch all of the time then set an event to it. In my personal opinion, I don't like these extra libraries because when coding workarounds, it's better for learning your way around the pre-existing library and it will help you learn more, instead of just someone coding the extra library for you.
