Solved Set Block at location

Hello. I have a Block object, and I simply want to set that block at coords (x, y, z).
Something like:

Code:java

Block block;
World world;
// ...
world.setBlock(block);
 
// or
 
world.setBlock(location, block);

is there a methor in bukkit like that, or a way to do this?

Code:

block.setType(Material material);

 

World#getBlockAt(Location).setType(Material);

 

What if I have blocks with special metadata (like chests, player heads, or signs)?

and btw, how do I get all meta data of a block?

Cast it to a Chest

 

But the metadata won't save. I need the metadata (contents etc.) to be saved too.

 

loop through the contents and save them and their location in the chest
