Save A list of locations to the config?

How do I do this?
Basically what I'm doing is saving the location of a block placed if it is an electric furnace by checking the display name and whatnot.
How do I save the location to a config file so it ends up like this:
EFurnaces:
- 1:
x:
y:
z:
world:
- 2:
so on and so forth
And get the locations everytime on player interact event on a furnace to check if it is the right location and open a different inventory.
basically:

Code:

public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
    if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
        if(e.getBlock.getType() == Material.FURNACE){
            /*Get the location and see if it is one of the
            Locations in the config file and if it is do stuff*/
        }
    }
}

 

Much simpler: use metadatas.
Set the metadata:

Code:

block.setMetadata("electricFurnace", new FixedMetadataValue(this, true));

If it contains the metadata:

Code:

block.hasMetadata("electricFurnace)

 

@FisheyLP You need to keep in mind that metadata is lost after a restart

 

To get what you want, you need to use the following code

Code:

gerConfig().set("ElectricFurnance.1.x", Location#getX());
gerConfig().set("ElectricFurnance.1.y", Location#getY());
gerConfig().set("ElectricFurnance.1.z", Location#getZ());
this.saveConfig();

 

Yes, that will be for saving the locations. For getting them, I would recommend using the following within your event.

Code:

int x = getConfig().getString("ElectricFurnace.1.x");
int y = getConfig().getString("ElectricFurnace.1.y");
int z = getConfig().getString("ElectricFurnace.1.z");
World world = getConfig().getString("ElectricFurnace.1.world");
Location furnaceLocation = new Location(x, y, z, world);
if(e.getClickedBlock().getLocation() == furnaceLocation) {
  //DO STUFF
}

 

@Konato_K No it isnt. I tested the metadata on an entity, restarted the server and it was still there

 

@FisheyLP ReSTART or ReLOAD? I did a reload, metadata stayed. I did a restart ("/stop", and start again) and metadata gone.

 

yes, But It will only do that to ElectricFurnace.1
so when I place more than one How will it DO ElectricFurnace.2?
And when I destroy?
MetaData seems like a good option, If only I could save them to the config or somehow keep them through the restart!

 

@VortexGmer You could get the amount of furnaces on enable, assign that to a variable. Then do variable++ when they place it, when setting the location get the variable.

 

@bwfcwalshy I don't understand

 

so basicly you have an integer like int i=0 then when a user places the furnace, u do getConfig().set(String.valueOf(i), Location) then do int++ so ur never overwriting it

 

oh ok!

Yes but it would be a painfull process, I would need to do something like getting the int of furnaces anf looping through while it isnt 0 and then for each location check if the furnace is there...

I found another way!

Code:

Furnace f = (Furnace) e.getBlock();
                if(f.getInventory().getName() == ChatColor.AQUA + "Electric Furnace"){
                    e.setCancelled(true);
                    //do stuff!
                }

Thing is, I don't know how to open a custom furnace inventory and save stuff when it is closed, I basically only want batteries to power it but it smelts twice as fast and all, I don't know how to cancel the default recipes and make it a custom furnace with only this, I was thinking to make a custom furnace inventory but How do i make it a burning furnace when it starts smelting and do the things in the background and when you open it you can see the process of the smelting
