Ability to set an item dropped on HangingBreakEvent

[imDaniX]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I need to drop a specific item when a specific item frame is being broken.

Describe the solution you'd like.

A method setDroppedItem on HangingBreakEvent which sets the item to drop. Probably with an option to drop nothing if provided item is null (or, to be on brighter side, has type AIR?)

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Caching the location on HangingBreakEvent and checking it on ItemSpawnEvent; or completely cancelling the event and handling the removal myself. Both sounds to me as junky workarounds.

We don't really have the context of this here either

You try with this event? https://papermc.io/javadocs/paper/1.18/io/papermc/paper/event/player/PlayerItemFrameChangeEvent.html
this is the most cases for the ItemFrame like the "removed" related when get the item for drops or another cases.

So, item frame dropping code is too disconnected from the event firing?

It doesn't fire when an item frame itself gets removed tho. I don't think it's applicable in my situation.

ganging break is a generic event, which calls off into other logic which determines what if anything drops, etc; I don't see how it would attach to those at all given how that works at all, we couldn't tell you if/what will drop, etc

Can you cancel the event and then remove it yourself and handle drops as such? Some hanging things drop multiple items vs just 1. Paintings and leashknots can only drop 1, but item frames may drop 2.

Hey @imDaniX, have you had the chance to try out Machine-Marker's suggestion?

Yup, that's basically what I did. See here.
