Solved Set Block To Colored Wool

I am making a CTF plugin, because all the other ones don't do exactly what I want and Upon player death, I need a block of RED wool to spawn. I have figured out how to give colored wool to a player upon command, but that requires making a new ItemStack. I Cannot do this for a block that spawns in a set location, so how would I actually make a red Wool Block spawn instead of a white one. Besides this, everything else works. Here is what I currently have for the wool that spawns.

Code:

player.getLocation().getBlock().setType(Material.WOOL);

 

@Evonoucono
Try putting

Code:

, (short) "wool color id"

in like so:

Code:

player.getLocation().getBlock().setType(Material.WOOL, (short) 1);

I think that works not sure though. If not I have no clue

 

Thanks for the reply, although I don't think it works. I've tried this, and I played around with it a lot, however it simply wants me to remove everything passed Material.WOOL ... Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

@Evonoucono
Have you tried setData ?

 

The best thing to do would be something like

Code:

Block block = player.getLocation().getBlock();
block.setType(Material.WOOL);
block.setData(DyeColor.RED.getData());

 

@Butter1484 @Gater12 @Evonoucono or use Block#setTypeAndData to spare one line

Also dont be afraid of deprecation in certain cases, Read docs to find alternatives if there are any. Otherwise there is no option but to use the deprecated methods.

 

Thanks Butter1484, and mine-care! It worked!
