how to determine if block has liquid (lava or water) in it?

[m27315]

Hi,

 

I know how to test if a block is a water or lava block:

 

Block block = world.getBlock(x, y, z);
return block.equals(Blocks.water) || block.equals(Blocks.lava);

 

However, an adjacent block - or a block far below - may be air and have water or lava running through it.  I want to find these blocks too.  How do I determine if a block at x,y,z has any liquid (lava or water) in it?

 

Thanks!

Keep in mind that some Forge Liquids aren't liquids at all, but gasses.

I had missed flowing_water and flowing_lava.  This helped most of my problems.  Thanks!

 

However, in my mod, I still have this issue, where I'm setting blocks so fast, that although there is no water flowing in a block, several seconds after I finish setting all of my blocks there may be flowing water.  It's a time issue, where I need to wait several seconds for water to flow down to all of the places it will eventually be.  Is there a way to check if water will eventually flow in a block?  I'm guessing, no, and I don't mind living with it, but I though I would check.

 

Thanks!

In 1.7 (not sure about 1. water sources are metadata of 0 and flowing blocks have metadata that increases the farther away it is from the source.
