Block in front of chest

Is there a way to get the block in front of a chest? I don't see anything in the API myself, but wanted to check if the community knew.

 

@WiseHollow Meaning the block right where the chest is facing?

 

@WiseHollow

Have a case for the four different directions a chest can face, and then get the relative block.

Here: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Chest#Block_data

 

Yes, exactly right.

Getting the relative block is what I am asking about. I am unaware how.

 

@WiseHollow

Block#getRelative(BlockFace)

 

@mythbusterma That method is what I am trying to figure out. What argument would you use for that method?

 

BlockFace

 

@nverdier
-.- He wants to know which side the "latch" on the chest texture is on. He needs to get that block face.
