# Direction

Config path: `checks.blockinteract.direction`\
Permission (bypass): `nocheatplus.checks.blockinteract.direction`\
Exemption: `BLOCKINTERACT_DIRECTION`\
Better with: `ProtocolLib (plugin)`

The Direction check forces players to look (eye location) at the block they want to interact with.

**Notes**

* The BukkitAPI throws a interaction event before the place/break events come, so the BLOCKINTERACT\_DIRECTION check will pretty much always catch the cheat attempt first before the other two do. If you wish to only check Direction on placing/breaking then disable the interaction one first.
* Do note that this check will need ProtocolLib in order to mitigate a vanilla bug (packet inversion: the interaction is processed before the looking direction) which causes the check to throw false positives almost everytime you switch block while interacting.
