Is there any way to do this on 1.16?

So im trying to make automatic guns on 1.16. On 1.1 i did this with DataPacketReceiveEvent but that event is gone and i cant do that with PlayerInteractEvent because if you hold screen it registers it as 1 click. Any suggestions how to do this?

 

You can do so with a simple task.

Just run task on interact

 

But then you will need to interact 1 more time to stop but thats not what im looking for

 

Then what are you looking for?

 

I said that it was possible on 1.1 to just hold finger on screen and it will send player action packets but on 1.16 if you hold it will only send 1

 

so i wonder if theres any way to recreate what happens on 1.1

 

What do you mean? The behavior you are describing still happens on 1.16:

The client sends an animate packet, then an inventory transaction packet, then afterwards a mob equipment packet

 

on 1.1 client sent player action packets when you hold your screen

 

Does this happen even when nothing is in the player's hand?

 

yea, but thats the point you can make automatic guns like on pc, hold to shoot.
but on 1.16 only way i figured out is adding food items and making autofire through them

 

Using items like snowball, splash potions, exp bottle etc should work? You just need to cancel PlayerInteractEvent to prevent them from actually throwing it
