[1.10.2] [SOLVED] How to test block is air or fire etc.

[DasKaktus]

How can i test if a block is Material.Air or Blocks.FIRE etc.. ?

 

I found this function in Minecraft block:

 

/**
     * Get a material of block
     */
    @Deprecated
    public Material getMaterial(IBlockState state)
    {
        return this.blockMaterial;
    }

 

Which as you see is deprecated. (and why do you need to pass along IBlockState?!)

 

So is there any similar function that is'nt deprecated?

Mojang uses @Deprecated wrongly, they use it to mean nobody should use it unless they are Mojang or are overriding the method. The IBlockState parameter is necessary so blocks can change their material based on their state. Use IBlockState#getMaterial to get the material of a given state.

Ok, thanks.

 

I can do this?

 

Material m = blockIn.getBlockState().getBaseState().getMaterial();
        	if(m == Material.AIR){ return true; }

 

But how do I check if blockIn (which is Block) is Blocks.FIRE ?

 

blockIn.getBlockState().getBlock()

?

blockIn.getBlockState().getBlock()

Wait for it

 == 

Drum roll please!

Blocks.FIRE

[Draco18s]

blockIn.getBlockState().getBlock()

Ahem... this is the same as just

blockIn

.

Actually, no, that does not even compile.

 

You are correct.  I just blindly copied the half he already had in order to beat him with the stupid stick of "how to check if something is equal."

[DasKaktus]

Actually it compiled, both version worked

But i stuck with blockIn == Blocks.Fire check.

 

It was probably too late in the night to test the simpliest thing.

Umm... No Mojang is using @Deprecated JUST FINE.

You SHOULD NOT be calling this function.

Overriding @Deprecated methods is fine because it is a in-work process so things may not always be the final form.

However in this case ITS FREAKING OBVIOUS you should NEVER CALL this method directly.

IBlockState, The replacement for directly calling Block methods HAS THIS FUNCTION.

So, world.getBlockState(pos).getMaterial() DONE!

Seriously this isnt complicated, please stop spreading stupidity on my forums about things you don't understand.
