Block.getdata();

guys im trying to use that method which is deprecated
im trying to get the data value as id but it seems its impossible..
how cant i get the id and/or name instead of this id text mixture thing : ORANGE WOOL(1)

i know its not wanted in new versions but i want my yml to look simplier by using id's
do i have to loop thru all the characters to find ints and add together ?

 

well. ORANGE_WOOL is not a material. You could use WOOL and then add an id. In this case, you could split the string. you can set the string to be WOOL : 1 and then use that to have the server get the type from the first argument and the data from the second.

 

Don't use ID's they will cause you unwanted stress and there really is no point when they're being deprecated.
It will be more user friendly if you don't use ID's anyway.

 

well tommy i do have it as an update .
the thing is im not good with bukkit plugins so im just building it and ill fix the issues as an update
thx to Traks i found out that a.getData().getData() works
but problem is potions .. so how can i properly store potion data values ?

if its splash potion it gives me 35 for fire resistance and when i add

16384 to it i have the correct value​

so do i have to find out if its splash or so ?​

and also there is ​

Can become splash potion which i have no idea which potions can and not​

ulsa all potions can become splash. I don't understand your question.

 

well thats what i know but there is a number for can become splash which is i dont know why is there
also i cant get spash data i only got 1 number which if i add splash number to it it becomes correct data
but how can i get the correct data ... getdata && look if splash || (look if not splash) && look if has extended duration ??

 

Necrodoom Even mundane splash potion?

But no, I know what you mean. All finished potions can be splash

ulsa If you want to determine if a specific potion is currently in splash form, then you can use isSplash()

 

so all i have to do is get data and check for splash ? or do i have to mess with extended durations aswell ?
