As in topic, is there any way to get String  like FARMLAND or COBBLESTONE from BLOCK object? 

Here is a class, with static fields. I would appreciate if there would be possibility to get such String like those static fields are named. Currently Im using getDescriptionId() which returns strings like "block.minecraft.farmland" its ok, but if I want to implement support for other types I would need to know those descriptiosn and those are not hmm Human friendly. If I would get string like FARMLAND I could easly nearly copy/paste list from link below and implement it.

I made some ugly solution quickly with a help of excel...

 

...
if(inBlock.equals(Blocks.SLIME_BLOCK)) return "SLIME_BLOCK";
if(inBlock.equals(Blocks.SMITHING_TABLE)) return "SMITHING_TABLE";
if(inBlock.equals(Blocks.SMOKER)) return "SMOKER";
if(inBlock.equals(Blocks.SMOOTH_QUARTZ)) return "SMOOTH_QUARTZ";
...

there is a simple solution to this:

public static String getBlockName(Block blockIn) {
	List<Block> registryBlocks = Registry.BLOCK.stream().collect(Collectors.toList());
	for (Block block : registryBlocks) {
		if (block == blockIn) {
			return block.getRegistryName().getPath().toUpperCase();
		}
	}
	return Blocks.AIR.getRegistryName().getPath().toUpperCase();
}

Input: Blocks.ANDESITE_SLAB
Output: ANDESITE_SLAB

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
