What kind of value is this?

[SecondAmendment]

What kind of a value is this [F@401dd771 I obtained it from using reflection on a mobs "inventoryHandsDropChances", Its supposed to return a float array if i am correct, but it returns that. how can I parse the numerical value?

That is a pointer to an array of floats.

You need to cast it to the object type returned by inventoryHandsDropChances that you can see in the code (either float[] or List<float>, I'm not looking at it right now), then you can use it.

I tried doing that but then this happens: 

java.lang.ClassCastException: [F cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.Float;

 

 

How I currently have it: 

					try {
						Float[] chance = (Float[]) ReflectionHelper.findField(EntityLiving.class, "inventoryHandsDropChances").get(entity);
						System.out.println(chance[0]);
					} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
						e.printStackTrace();
					} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
						e.printStackTrace();
					}

I dont know what F is, its not a float[], float, or field i have already checked all 3.

[LexManos]

Its float[]

Float[] != float[]

Oh, Im an idiot. Thank you. Also in terms of drop chance would 1f be 50% and 2f be 100%

1.0 is 100% drop chance, anything greater than that will be dropped even if the entity wasn't recently hit by a player and won't be damaged before it's dropped.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thank you
