Adding items to Material chest?

Hi! Just wondering, if I am using the setType(Material); method. How would I modify the contents of the chest? Any help appreciated!

 

@CraftCreeper6 what you want to do? change the type of different items in a chest?
To do that, loop through all the items in the chest and change the type to whatever.

How do I get the contents? Yes, I know how to do it with ItemStacks but the setType method only works with Material. Therefore, how can I get the contents if I only know it's a material? Wait, I'll try making it into an ItemStack. I'll edit if it fails/works.

EDIT: Don't really know how that would work :/

 

use chest.getInventorry();
and then use the method from inventory interface called getContents[]

Yes, I know how to do that ;p Although, what I meant was how to get the Material to make sure it's a chest. Then update it. E.G:

Code:

chest.getBlock().setType(Material.CHEST);

        ItemStack chestItem = new ItemStack(chest.getBlock().getType());

"chest" is a Location. So, how would I update it? (With the current code I am unable to use chestItem.getInventory()

EDIT: Nevermind! I managed to get it working with:

Code:

Chest chestBlock = (Chest) chest.getBlock().getState();
       
        chestBlock.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.______, _));

 

I thought you had issues with chest content types...
