Solved Find block above the event block in BlockBreakEvent

Hello,

I'm trying to make lamp plugin, if you destroy a block in BlockBreakEvent and there is a glowstone 5 blocks over that block, it should change to something else.

Guess I have to do something with event.getBlock().getLocation() ? Not sure how I would check 5 blocks over and if its a glowstone. Help please? =)))

 

event.getBlock() returns a Block object.

Block has a getRelative(BlockFace face) that returns a Block.

Thus, event.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.UP) will give you the block one block above that.

There is also getRelative(BlockFace face,int x) that gets the block x away in the blockface's direction.

http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/block/Block.html
Information on the Block object, such as methods that let you get the type of block and such.

 

One way to do this would be

Code:java

 
Block brokenBlock = event.getBlock()
Block lampBlock = brokenBlock.getWorld().getBlockAt(brokenBlock.getX(), brokenBlock.getY + 5, brokenBlock.getZ());
if (lampBlock != null && lampBlock.getType() == Material.GLOWSTONE) {
    //your codde
}
 

regards, mcoder

 

Code:

        Material lamp = event.getBlock().getWorld().getBlockAt(event.getBlock().getLocation().add(0,5,0)).getType();
        if(lamp == Material.GLOWSTONE)
        {
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("GLOWSTONE FOUND!");
        }
