Check if block placed has a name

How do i check if a block thats placed has a name?
Can't seem to figure it out

Couldn't you get the BlockMeta of the block and use the BlockMeta's method for getting a name? I haven't used blockmeta and I'm not sure if BlockMeta has any such method, but it's worth a shot.

 

Cant find any methods like that

 

No such thing as BlockMeta, you are probably thinking of ItemMeta .

Code:java

ItemMeta im = item.getItemMeta();

 

getItemMeta isnt a method for a Block

 

When you give a block a meta, and place it, it's reset

 

I know..
How would i give a block MetaData "turtle"? and then check it onBlockPlace?

 

event.getPlayer.getItemInHand()?

 

I know how to get the block

Edit: dude, thats smart, ill try tomorrow

 

Just do event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().hasItemMeta() then. Pretty sure if it's in your inventory it's counted as an item, not a block.

 

Thanks, worked
