How to get a placed block's name?

So I have this chest with a certain name. I gave this chest that name using ItemMeta.setDisplayName(). Afterwards I placed it on the ground and realized that it still has the custom name I gave it. How can I check whether a player right clicked that chest and opened it?

I think I've made a post similar to this earlier, but it wasn't solved so I apologize if this is considered a repost. But that post I made was a while ago.

 

It's late at night so excuse the minimum code I've posted(and possible errors), but I believe you could use something like this:

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
Block blk = event.getClickedBlock();
Player player = event.getPlayer();
 
if(blk != null) {
    if(blk.getType == Material.CHEST) {
        Chest chest = (Chest)getItemMeta().getDisplayName();
 
        if(chest = your custom name) {
            //send a message or whatever you want after the player clicks the chest
        }
    }
}
}
 

 

wesley27 You try to cast the display name to a chest? xD

EDIT: And you should not save block variables. You should save their state. (Block#getState())

 

TheBigSuperCraft lol sorry? Its the only thing I could think of by memory at the moment

 

wesley27 I know, you said that it's late, but it's still funny to see those kind of errors

 

wesley27 Also, shouldn't the name be stored as a String?

 

FabeGabeMC yes, you'd have to get the state of the block as TheBigSuperCraft said and then save the name as a string with the call that I said in my stupid reply
