Itemstack help!

Hi, I'm trying this code out but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone please explain to me why it's not working and how I can fix this? Thanks

Code:

Code:java

 if(event.getBlock().getType() == Material.IRON_ORE && event.getPlayer().isOp() == false){
 
block.setType(Material.AIR);
ItemStack iron = new ItemStack(event.getBlock().getDrops());
 
}

The part that's not working is

Code:java

 ItemStack iron = new ItemStack(event.getBlock().getDrops());

because it always throws me an error.

 

Maybe because air doesn't drop anything? Edit: Misread, I think? You're not really explaining what you're trying to do.

i fixed your code

Code:java

 
Block block = event.getBlock()
if (block.getType().equals(Material.IRON_ORE) && !p.isOp() &&  !event.isCancelled()
&& !p.getGamemode().equals(Gamemode.CREATIVE)) {
 
Collection<ItemStack> items = block.getDrops();
 
 
for (ItemStack item : items) {
p.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_INGOT));
}
e.setCancelled(true);
block.setType(Material.AIR);
}

 

Thank you so much FisheyLP.
Just one question, can you please explain to me what a Collection is?

 

it's almost the same as a list
