    • Environment:

      EventHandler call is cancelled for PlayerInteractEvent when the player interacts with Material.AIR

      Sample code (working): 

          @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        final Action action = event.getAction();
        final Player bukkitPlayer = event.getPlayer();

        final BattlePlayer player = gameController.getBattlePlayer(bukkitPlayer);
        if (player == null) return;

        if (!bukkitPlayer.getItemInHand().getType().equals(player.getWeapon().getBukkitMaterial())) return;
        if (!(action.equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) || action.equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR))) return;

        final Projectile projectile = event.getPlayer().launchProjectile(player.getWeapon().getAmmunitionProjectileClass());
        projectile.setShooter(bukkitPlayer);

        double multiplier = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble(0, 1);
        projectile.setVelocity(projectile.getVelocity().multiply(multiplier));
    }

      However, setting ignoreCancelled to true on the annotation means this does not get called - indicating that the event is being cancelled. Whether or not this is normal behaviour for this event, I'm not so sure. If it is normal, then it would be helpful if it could be documented.
