Solved Subtypes with Crops and Trees

Hello everyone,

I am making a plugin that automatically places a sapling after you destroy the log.

I have achieved that part, brilliant. However I'm stuck with the Subtypes.

How would I use subtypes within my code here:

Code:

            Location under = e.getBlock().getLocation().subtract(0, 1, 0);
            int underb = under.getBlock().getTypeId();
            Block b = e.getBlock();
            if(b.getTypeId() == 17)
            {
                if(underb == 3)
                {
                    e.setCancelled(true);
                    b.setTypeId(6);
                }
            } 

I have tried multiple ways, but can't seem to crack it, it is most likely something very basic and I'll end up looking like a noob.

And an additional question, it will be the same for the crops, however I only want the grown crops to be destroyed then replaced with the type like you have just planted the seeds. Is it subtypes again? or something completely different?

@hellobrad100 What is a subtype? Are you talking about data? I would use the getData() and setData() method.

 

@Skionz You know in Minecraft how there is 6 types of trees?
Different Colours of wool? Different types of wood? A subtype is basically the mini-type in effect I guess.

Eg: an Oak log's ID is 17, whereas a Birch Log's ID is 17:2

However with bukkit, they all fall under Material.LOG or the ID 17, so you need a different method to be able to use the subtypes, which I can't seem to do, so that is why I'm here. xD

 

@hellobrad100 Yes. Then use the Block#getData and setData methods.

 

@Skionz Figured it out, thanks so much for your help!
