# PlayerDestroyItemEvent

This event is fired when a player destroys a tool or item. This happens
 after the tool has been destroyed and can not be used to prevent the
 destruction directly.

The event is not cancelable.

The event does not have a result.

## Importing the class

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues (like casting an Array), so better be safe than sorry and add the import at the very top of the file.
```zenscript
import crafttweaker.api.event.entity.player.PlayerDestroyItemEvent;
```
