Solved list to Material[]

Hey guys and gals, I've ran into a problem I need a bit of help with.
I've set a list of materials in my config and I need to convert them to an Material[] array
This will allow ppl to configure the blocks affected by my plugin.

Currently I got my hard coded Material[] like this:

Code:

Material[] list1 = { Material.STONE, Material.COBBLESTONE, Material.SANDSTONE };

I've already got the list from the config

Code:

List<?> listHM = plugin.getConfig().getList("listHM");

I've tried different things like .toArray and casting it to Material and such but I'm kinda stuck atm.
Hope someone can help me into the right direction.

 

cast it to a List<Material> and then do .toArray(Material[]::new).

Though I'm not sure why you're bothering to convert anything to an array. A collection is more powerful.

 

I have a for loop that checks the blocks Material with the Materials in the Material[] array at the moment.
My current list is just a test list, its going to be alot longer.

I fogot to mention I'm only a beginner and I don't understand much from your example above.

 

I've found a different method to solve my problem, thx for your time 1Rogue.
