BlockBreakEvent.getBlock() returns air?

Code:

public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    
    Block broken = event.getBlock();
    
    player.chat(broken.getType().toString());
}

This sends "AIR" to the client. I guess this might be expected, since the block is broken, but it's not very useful to determine what type it was. Thus, I suspect it's a bug. Is this the case, or am I using the wrong event to detect when a block is broken?

(tested in the latest CraftBukkit from GitHub)

 

do you have other plugins running? I use this with my DropBonus plugin and it is still working fine.

 

Normally yes, but while I was testing this, I got rid of all the other ones (moved them out of the plugins folder) except for Essentials (for the /rel command)

Edit: Durrrrrr. I am dumb. Code that I omitted does the equivalent of this:

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < BREAK_DIST; i++) {
    Block b = broken.getFace(BlockFace.WEST, i);
    if(b.getType() != broken.getType()) break;

    b.setType(Material.AIR);
}

As it turns out, Block.getFace(whatever, 0) returns the same block, so I was setting the broken block to air, causing broken.getType().toString() to return "AIR".

My solution is to make my loop look like this:

Code:

for(int i = 1; i <= BREAK_DIST; i++) {
     Block b = broken.getFace(BlockFace.WEST, i);
     if(b.getType() != broken.getType()) break;
 
     b.setType(Material.AIR);
 }
