Test if a Material generates water

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to test if a material "generates" water.
For example, if I set the materialDEAR_HORN_CORAL_FAN on a block, water starts flowing. How can I identify materials that do that ?

Thank you all in advance !

@Poplo Use Waterlogged#isWaterLogged().

Off topic: I just noticed that a campfire is apparently waterlogged, which is pretty weird.

 

In order to do that, I need a Block, right ? I can't reach that from a Material, correct ?
I'm currently using a preloaded list of materials, in which I randomly pick materials. I don't want any water, but I still have some water flowing from my construction. Even if I do something like that :

Code:

Block b = player.getEyeLocation().getBlock();
do {
  b.setType(getRandomMaterial());
} while(b.getBlockData() instanceof Waterlogged);

 

@Poplo Waterlogged is an instance of BlockData. You can get it using Block#getBlockData() or Material#createBlockData().

 

I have only a Material object, no Block or BlockData, I can't find out how I can use
createBlockData() or Waterlogged in these conditions

My explanations are not clear, nor complete.
Here is the code :

Code:

static void staticInit() {
  int i = 0;
  for (Material m : Material.values())
    if (m.isSolid() && m.isBlock() && !m.name().contains("CORAL") &&   !m.name().contains("CONDUIT")) ++i;

  solidMaterials = new Object[i];

  i = 0;
  for (Material m : Material.values()) {
    if (m.isSolid() && m.isBlock() && !m.name().contains("CORAL") && !m.name().contains("CONDUIT")) {
    solidMaterials[i++] = m;}
  }
}

I already found that any CORAL Blocks or CONDUIT flows water. But I'm sure there is better to do than testing each Material

 

@Poplo You get the BlockData using Material or Block. You have the Material, so you can just use the method for that.

Question: What are you trying to do? What is your end goal?

 

@KarimAKL I'm trying to make a method returning a random Material

 

@Poplo

Code:Java

public Material getRandomMaterial() {
    // Get all possible materials
    Material[] materials = Material.values();
 
    // Get a random element from the materials array between index 0 and size of array
    return materials[ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(materials.length)];
}

I wrote this on my phone, but it should still work.
