Solved Getting chest inventories and filling them with items.

Does anybody know a way to get all the chest in a world and fill them with items. I know how to add the items but how do I get the chest inventory? If anybody knows please help!

 

Add chests to a list when they're placed down:

Code:java

public List<Location> chests = new ArrayList<Location>();
 
@EventHandler
public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event){
    if(event.getBlockPlaced().getType().equals(Material.CHEST){
          chests.add(event.getBlockPlaced().getLocation());
    }
}

Fill them:

Code:java

public void fillChests(){
    for(Location location : chests){
        Chest chest = (Chest) location.getBlock();
        chest.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.STONE, 1));
    }
}

Note: You may want to save them to a YAML file...

 

TheMcScavenger Chest doesn't inherit from Block.

 

If you dont already have all of your chests registered, you'll want to register the chunk load event, and parse all the blocks within the chunk bounds for the chests.

TheMcScavenger I think you're looking for the blockstate before you can cast it into a chest, i think. Going off of memory on this one, so i could be wrong.
