Get Nearest Block Under Player.

Hello, Ive created a plugin that teleports a player to a random location. How would I go about getting the nearest groundlevel block? (The plugin can spawn a player 300 blocks in air).

Thanks,

There is a method ".getHighestBlockAt()" in the "World" class.
This returns the highest non-empty block at a given location (or x + z).

But be aware: This may also return blocks like lava and cactus.
So better check the returned block for unwanted materials.

My code is

Code:java

player.teleport(new Location(player.getWorld(),rand.nextInt(1000),150,rand.nextInt(1000));
 

I need to get the closest ground level block for my Y so it does not cause the player fall damage. (Or is there a way to negate the fall damage?)

 

This will get the closest ground level block for your given locations x and z coords.
It looks which block on the Y coordinate of the given location has only air above it, and returns this highest non-empty block.
I don't know if there are blocks that are not recognized by this method. But try it and judge yourself.
