Get Type of log in player inventory.

Hello im trying to get the type of log within a players inventory.
(ex. Inventory contains SPRUCE LOG which equals byte 2 (17:2))
How would I get the byte?
I need to remove a certain type of log from a players inventory by using the byte, which i cant seem to get.

Code:

ItemStack pLog = new ItemStack(Material.LOG, 1);
        pLog.getType().getData();

returns: GENERIC UP LOG(0)


Thanks

I've had issues with this in the past and actually made this mistake a few days ago when I couldn't figure out why an items data value wouldn't equal 2 I think. I was using itemStack.getData(). The problem with that is that getData() returns a MaterialData object which isn't just the number that represents the items data value. To get that you have to do pLog.getData().getData(). That will return a byte and if it is a spruce log it should return 2 if that is the correct data value.

 

ok ill give it a try and let you know, thanks.
