Opening Iron Door?

So um, I done some research and found a Door object in bukkit, with an open and close option.

I tried casting a blockstate to a door with no success.

So how do I do this?

 

Check if the block is equal to a door and if yes then cast the block to a door like this
Door thedoor = (Door) block;

I think this would work

 

Door class is deprecated.

try casting Openable I don't know if you need to cast it to block.getState() or to block.getState().getData() though.

 

.getData() is a byte for blocks & a short for items

Not the getState().getData() it should return MaterialData

 

Problem solved. Just set the data to getData() & 0x08 to open and another thing to close
