Which Way is a chest facing? NEWS?

North East West South; which direction is a chest facing? I do not see a blockface property on the chest to indicate that. How do I found out?

Thanks.

 

you use the getRawData() method to get a byte. The bytes correspond to directions. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/D...ll_Signs.2C_Furnaces.2C_Dispensers_and_Chests
thats a list of which bytes = which directions

 

Either that, or which face is a button on. My plugin uses a button and a chest. I need to deal with rotation of its setup, so I need to know which direction either the button or the chest is facing. any ideas?

 

The byte value is the direction/attached face... it's pretty simple to use...

But if you *really* want BlockFace enums, you can use DirectionalContainer class or just Chest class.

Code:

Chest chest = new Chest(0, chestBlock.getData(); // type is irelevant
Button button = new Button(0, buttonBlock.getData());

And you can use .getFacing() on chest and .getFacing() or .getAttachedFace() on button.

Also... Chest and Button there are materials, not blocks, make sure you import org.bukkit.material.Chest/Button for it.
