Hi, I am trying to create a method which checks whether the block under where another block is placed is a certain material. However, some of the materials I want to compare don't have enums and I don't know how to check for them. This is what I tried: Code (Text): if (location.subtract(0, 1, 0).getBlock() != null) { if (location.subtract(0, 1, 0).getBlock().getType() == Material.SMOOTH_BRICK && location.subtract(0, 1, 0).getBlock().getData() == 3) { Bukkit.broadcastMessage("check mark 1"); return true; } else { Bukkit.broadcastMessage("check mark 2"); return false; } } else { Bukkit.broadcastMessage("check mark 3"); return false; } } However, it returned check mark 2 (bug fix code) and false. Anyone know how to do this? Many thanks, Harieo EDIT: Sorry for the syntax formatting, the forum changed it like that.
I was not aware of the method, thank you. However, this has just made things more confusing. The output: Code (Text): [18:28:20] [Server thread/INFO]: 0 [18:28:20] [Server thread/INFO]: check mark 2[m [18:28:23] [Server thread/INFO]: 15 [18:28:23] [Server thread/INFO]: check mark 2[m [18:28:28] [Server thread/INFO]: 6 [18:28:28] [Server thread/INFO]: check mark 2[m [18:28:36] [Server thread/INFO]: 0 [18:28:36] [Server thread/INFO]: check mark 2[m [18:28:38] [Server thread/INFO]: 15 [18:28:38] [Server thread/INFO]: check mark 2[m [18:28:42] [Server thread/INFO]: 5 [18:28:42] [Server thread/INFO]: check mark 2[m The String value of the data seems to be completely random
Just wondering, what do you now broadcast as output? the block.getData() value? When yes, check mark 2 is active so i see that only check mark 1 does what you want to have so maybe broadcast also the block type as material.<TYPE>.name() so maybe its something like a flower because that could have different id values
I am the most confused person in this entire room right now. Besides from Spigot assuming subtract 1 means subtract nothing, then changing it's mind half way through without any changes to the code, it spits out Material.SMOOTH_BRICK for Chiseled Stone Brick

ohhh haha i know why it prints those different values, add after "location" this: ".clone()" that should solve your issue
The location isn't my issue, or at least it wasn't one of them until now, the problem is I don't know how to check whether a block is a sub-material of a material. Like the main material is stone brick (98) and the sub-material for chiselled stone brick is (98:3) I've tested the method on just stone brick itself and it works.
I saw that you tryed something like this already but maybe check this with the cast of the byte class Code (Text): Block block = yourBlock; if(block.getType() == Material.SMOOTH_BRICK){ if(block.getData() == (byte)3){ //Do your stuff } } Edit: Code (Text): if (location.clone().subtract(0, 1, 0).getBlock().getType() == Material.SMOOTH_BRICK && location.clone().subtract(0, 1, 0).getBlock().getData() == (byte)3) { //Do your stuff }
