Solved Skull Block getOwner()

Has anyone been able to successfully use the getOwner() method on a Skull block? I've been fighting with this for a few hours and it results in nothing. The plugin seems to just stop after I attempt to access getOwner(). It throws no errors. It's as if the getOwner() just forces my class method to return.

Code:

Block block = player.getTargetBlock(null, 5);
org.bukkit.block.Skull skull = (org.bukkit.block.Skull)block;
if (skull.hasOwner()) {
  logDebug("Skull block has owner");
  pName = skull.getOwner();
} else {
  logDebug("Skull block has NO owner");
}

You should check if block is actually instanceof Skull.

 

I left that out of my example. In my actual code use this.

Code:

if (block.getType() == Material.SKULL) {
...
}

 

What's the last debug message that gets printed?
Are there any exception messages?

 

It prints nothing to the debug log. It seems to just silently quit when it hits the .hasOwner() or getOwner(). No exceptions or errors.

 

Solved!

Code:

BlockState bs = block.getState();
org.bukkit.block.Skull skull = (org.bukkit.block.Skull) bs;           
String pName;           
if (skull.hasOwner()) {
  pName = skull.getOwner();
} else {
  pName = "Unknown";
}
