How to change block drops into an itemstack

How would you be able to change block drops into an itemstack like:

Code:

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(block.getDrops());

Thanks.

 

You'd want to:

Listen for BlockBreakEvent
Set the event as cancelled.
Turn the block that was broken into air.
Get the block that was broken.
Get the type of the block.
Create a new ItemStack based on the block.getType()

This is assuming you want to stop the drop of the block you broke and instead want to convert it to an item stack.

 

but setting the block as air would also bypass grief prevention plugins wouldn't it?

and plus i want to go the drop way in case people are using fortune pickaxes or breaking grass blocks to get seeds

 

Yes, I reckon the method I suggested might interfere with grief prevention plugins.

I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve. If you want the block to drop, why do you want to make it into an itemstack?

 

I do not want the block to drop but I want to first achieve getting the block drop into an itemstack.

My plugin would be something that takes whatever you mine and puts it into your inventory so other players can't steal it

Loop through block.getDrops. It returns a list of ItemStacks.
And then maybe clear the drops? Don't know if it works.

For grief prevention, all the protection plugins should cancel the event on a low priority, so it should already be cancelled by the time your listener runs. Just set @EventHandler(ignoreCancelled = true), to not receive such events.

 

how would you loop it? sorry I'm not familiar with every part of java lol

 

@fireboyev
for looping is one of the basics of Java. Have you ever seen something like this?

Code:

for(Object object : CollectionOfObjects){

//OR

for(int i = 0; i < the max number: i++){
