By the same logic doesn't block breaking happen from many places? yet it has an event.

I wasn't aware that you could make mods like that through the reflection system and I'm not sure what to Google for, what am I looking for? I did find redefineClasses is that the path you are suggesting? And I presume since we're talking about reflection you know no native Forge way of doing this?

I need to monitor all of the instances of some of the less common vanilla blocks, beds, doors furnaces and the like. Repeatedly scanning for them is not lag friendly, so I was looking for place / remove hooks. I found BlockEvent.BreakEvent but I can't find the matching PlaceEvent. I tried using PlayerInteractEvent's but since these fire before the actual placement figuring out what was placed is awkward, I guess I could stash the coordinates and look them up on the next tick but that seems cumbersome. I looked into replacing the vanilla blocks with ones wrapped with monitoring stuff, but trying to replace vanilla blocks looks like a bad idea. Soooo, what's the correct way of doing this?
