Cant use == in getBlockAt()

Hi,
Im working on a blockbreak event and i dont know why but i cant check if the getBlockAt() is == to a block... BUT i can check if its != null ... but thats not what i want i want to check if it == to a block

Code with !=null that works

Code:

        if(event.getBlock().getType().equals(Material.IRON_ORE)) {
                           
                            Block iron_ore = event.getBlock();
                           
                           int x = iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockX();
                            int y= iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockY();
                            int z = iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockZ();
                            int x1= x+1;
                             
                            if(iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1, y,z) != null) {
                           
                              iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1, y,z).breakNaturally();
                         
                            }
                           
                        }

Code that doesnt work with == block

Code:

        if(event.getBlock().getType().equals(Material.IRON_ORE)) {
                           
                            Block iron_ore = event.getBlock();
                               Block diamond = event.getBlock();
diamond.getType()==Material.DIAMOND_ORE;
                           
                           int x = iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockX();
                            int y= iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockY();
                            int z = iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockZ();
                            int x1= x+1;
                                                                                                         // problem
                            if(iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1, y,z) == diamond) {
                           
                              iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1, y,z).breakNaturally();
                         
                            }
                           
                        }

 

@Gonmarte
Did you try .equals() instead?

 

Use .equals instead of ==

 

@Gonmarte Firstly, use == instead of .equals() when comparing enums.
Edit: Ninja'd by @FisheyLP
Second, if you are trying to set the type of the diamond block, use

Code:

diamond.getType() = Material.DIAMOND_ORE;

Use a single equals sign for setting values, a dual equals sign for comparing.

 

Um. What?

 

@Scimiguy Well he didn't really explain what he was trying to do.

 

@henderry2019
True, I'm not really sure what he's wanting either, but getType() = ? won't do anything

Secondly, both .equals() and == are correct for enums.
== is null-safe for enums, but .equals() may have been overridden by bukkit to extend its functionality

EDIT: Oh... I see now
@Gonmarte You haven't got that == in an if statement, you've just thrown it in there for some reason

 

@Scimiguy @FisheyLP So should i try .equals() instead?

 

@Gonmarte What exactly are you trying to do?

 

@henderry2019 if i break a iron ore block and then if there is a diamond ore at the same loc but +1 in the coord x it will break the diamond ore too.

 

@Gonmarte read the edit, you haven't got that == in an if statement

Also, your "diamond" block is the block you are breaking in the event
When would the block above/next to it ever be the same block?

Create a new Block instance of type Diamond, and compare that instead

 

@Gonmarte

A block cannot be null.

1. Block iron_ore = event.getBlock();
2. Block diamond = event.getBlock();
3. if(iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1, y,z) == diamond)

Do you really think this can work ?

iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1, y,z).getType() == Material.DIAMOND

 

@Scimiguy @caderape
Like this

Code:

                    if(event.getBlock().getType().equals(Material.IRON_ORE)) {
                               
                        Block iron_ore = event.getBlock();
                        Block diamond = event.getBlock();
                        diamond.getType().equals(Material.DIAMOND_ORE);
                       
                        int x = iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockX();
                        int y = iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockY();
                        int z  =iron_ore.getLocation().getBlockZ() ;
                        int x1 = x+1;
                       
                        if(iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1, y, z) == diamond.getLocation()) {
                           
                        iron_ore.getWorld().getBlockAt(x1,y,z).breakNaturally();
                           
                        }
                       
                   
                    }

 

@Gonmarte
This line will do nothing: diamond.getType().equals(Material.DIAMOND_ORE);
your diamond is still the same block as the one you're breaking.

Block diamond = new Block()
Work with that instead
