Colored Wool?

How can I set a block to a specific color of wool(e.g.g red)? Should be a pretty basic question, but I just can't seem to figure out how.

 

I believe you have to set the metadata for a wool block.

Good luck.

 

You set the data value in the block state, not the metadata.

Code:

ItemStack redwool = new ItemStack( Material.WOOL, 1, (byte)4 );
player.getInventory().addItem( redwool );

you change the byte variable to change the color using the color data from the link Niq provided above.

Hope this helps!

 

The Bukkit DyeColor class is also handy:

PHP:

ItemStack redwool = new ItemStack(Material.WOOL, 1, DyeColor.RED.getData());


 

Smart tip, I didn't think of doing this; I always have to Google "Minecraft color codes" each time I want to set wool color.

Thanks for sharing your shortcut!

 

Thanks, but I also need to know how I set a Block(non-item, just any old block in the world) to a specific color of wool. I know how to set it to wool, and have done so, but I've got no clue how to change the color.

 

In a similar way:

PHP:

block.setTypeIdAndData(35, DyeColor.RED.getData(), true);
// or
block.setType(Material.WOOL);
block.setData(DyeColor.RED.getData());


 

Once again, thanks.

 

Well I already made a plugin called ParagonWool. My source is in there. See link in my sig.
