Discord Thread Disable Placing of Custom Blocks

[skUnity Discord]

I have a list of custom named items, and I want to not let players place them down, while still allowing them to place the normal versions of those items.

For example, one item in the list is
oak wood named "&3Compressed Wood"

So players should be able to place normal oak wood, but not this custom item.

I have tried this, but it didn't work, since the block is just a normal block and not the custom item:

on place:
    if {mylist::*} contains event-block:
        cancel event

contains player's tool

oak wood named "&3Compressed Wood" = ITEM
event-block                        = BLOCK

on place:
  if {mylist::*} contains player's tool:
    cancel event

Cool
I'm just giving him a better alternative within the event he's using
And showing how he could implement it

I dont remember seeing a rule telling you to NOT do that.

Thats nice, but still he was already helped and spoon feeding can lead to more errors/begging for code in the future

would make crafting tables / any other interactive block unusable while holding a custom block / item. you should use "on place" instead
mhm okay
by the way. the op should add the "solved" tag to this post.
so people know

What if the player places it using their offhand?
