Getting lightlevel of player

I need to find the lightlevel of a player for my plugin, i tried getting the lightlevel of the block below the player, it only returns 0 or 15 though..
I would love if someone could help me!

 

byte level = player.getLocation().getBlock().getLightLevel();

The block under the player is the ground which will be a light level of 0

 

Yup you need to check the light level of the block above (air). (just checked it in the craftbook IC coding.)

Code:

Location loc = player.getLocation().add(0, 1, 0);
int level = loc.getBlock().getLightLevel();

(written from scratch)

 

Wow, didn't think of that. And it worked, thanks!

Thats pretty much what i did but it didn't work.
But since @bergerkiller 's code worked, theres no need to think more about it

 

Waaiiit do check if it works, I didn't guarantee it to work. (although it may have seemed like it)
Only compared it to some working piece of code, which did that.
