Help with a diamond announcer plugin

Hey folks,

I'm trying to get my diamond announcer plugin to announce "[Alert] Player found 6 diamond ore.", as opposed to [Alert] Player mined a diamond ore." six times.

I am not sure where to begin, how would I do this? Here is my current code:

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent e)
{
if ((e.getBlock().getType() == Material.DIAMOND_ORE) &&
(e.getBlock().getY() <= 20))
{
Player player = e.getPlayer();
Date date = new Date();
Bukkit.broadcast(ChatColor.GOLD + "[Alert] " + ChatColor.WHITE + player.getName() + ChatColor.GOLD +
" found diamond ore.", "bukkit.broadcast.admin");

I guess you would have to check the nearby blocks (in every direction possible) to see if there is another diamond ore.

Also, what do you use this for:

 

That is for later where I log the ore to a text file, it saves the date and coordinates.

Can you please explain how I would check every block around?

Code:

Block Broken = e.getBlock();
Block Up = Broken.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
Block Down = Broken.getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN);
Block East = Broken.getRelative(BlockFace.EAST);
Block West = Broken.getRelative(BlockFace.WEST);
Block North = Broken.getRelative(BlockFace.NORTH);
Block South = Broken.getRelative(BlockFace.SOUTH);}

 

DinosParkour How about a loop?
