Snowball throw event

I know there is an event for when an egg is thrown, is there one for a Snowball? Because I cannot seem to find one and I would rather not use eggs because I really dont want chickens running around all over the place.

If there is a way to make the eggs not spawn chickens, that would work aswell

You have to use the ProjectileLaunchEvent. From that event, do

Code:java

if(event.getEntity() instanceof Snowball) {
    //Execute code here for snowball launch
}

Hope this helped! Let me know if you need more assistance

 

Shadowwolf97 Is there a way to get the player that threw it?

 

Zix Projectiles have a method to see who shot them (see javadocs if you need to know which)

 

Code:java

if(event.getEntity() instanceof Snowball) {
  Snowball snow = (Snowball) event.getEntity();
  if(snow.getShooter() instanceof Player) {
      Player p = (Player) snow.getShooter();
  }
}

Code isnt tested but it should work.

 

Shadowwolf97 Thanks, it works fine now

 

Glad I could help :3
