Solved Find Block Diagonal to Given Location

I want to retrieve the block that is behind one block and up one block from a given location. For example, if the location is 0,0,0, I want to get the block at 0,1,1 (Of course, the x or z value can equal -1 or 1 depending on the block face). If I'm not being clear enough, let me know.

Thanks!

Code:

location.add(0,1,1);

 

@davidclue, I think their problem is that the x & z change depending on the block's direction.

@SmearySubset, please elaborate on the problem itself rather than the goal.

 

@davidclue @KarimAKL
Problem: Karim is right, the direction the chest is facing will vary so I need one universal method of finding the block behind and above it.

 

@SmearySubset, I believe this should work:

• Get the block.
• Get the block's BlockData using Block#getBlockData().
• Check if the BlockData is an instance of Directional (make sure it is org.bukkit.block.data.Directional).
• Get the block's direction using Directional#getFacing().

Now that you have the direction, you can add 1 or -1 to either x or z.

Edit: I mentioned Directional, but you can check for a chest by replacing Directional with Chest (make sure it is org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest).

 

Thanks, I found a workaround.
