Finding all tile entities or blocks with an inventory in a radius

[SamTebbs33]

Hi, how would I go about getting a list or array of tile entities / blocks with an inventory in a radius around a set of corrdinates?

 

I've got the method to find block IDs in a radius but not how to then get the inventory or tile entity from there.

world.getEntitiesWithinAABBExcludingEntity(par1Entity, par2AxisAlignedBB)

Two things:

 

1) TileEntities are still entities

2) He can do the same thing he does for blocks to get TE's: world.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z)

@Draco18s:

 

1) You can't retrieve TileEntities with World#getEntitiesWithinAABBxx(). These are only for entities that have Entity as their superclass. This isn't the case for TileEntities.

2) That's an other way to do it yes. looping through every position within the area and retrieving its TileEntity. Dependant on the size of the area one or the other is more efficient.

...Right.  Tile Entities don't inherit from Entity.  Sometimes the class hierarchy sneaks up on me ('s what I get for not opening Eclipse and double checking).
