How to relate a material to a string

Basically in a config I have a string named lets say ABILITY_ONE. I want to be able to call that, but instead of returning a string it'd return a material. Note, I am using a list for the string names.

 

@kampai
A list of strings? or what
Or is ABILITY_ONE in a list with other abilities.

 

ABILITY_ONE is in a list with other abilities

 

@kampai Just use config#getStringList
Try reading up on this to : https://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference

Sorry there was a typo I edited the main thread

 

@kampai I believe Material#matchMaterial is what you need then.

You could also use Material#getMaterial but that wont try to format it. It has to be in uppercase and all that.
