Solved How do I give a player an item with a datatype?

Code:

      
        //Doesn't seem to be temporary;
        Block block;
      
        //Sets the block to dirt;
        block.setType(Material.DIRT);
      
        //Sets the datatype to Podzol a datatype of Material.DIRT;
        block.setData((byte) 2);
      
        //Define the player (temporary);
        Player player;
      
        //ItemStack Amount;
        int amount = 5;
      
        //block.getType() returns Material.DIRT;
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(block.getType(), amount));

How do I give a player something like Podzol?

Also, why is .setData depreciated?

 

@Sheepii Look at ItemStack's constructor. http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemStack.html

 

@Skionz Thanks man. For everyone else that wanted this,

Code:

        //Create a new ItemStack of Podzol
        ItemStack is = new ItemStack(Material.DIRT, 1, (byte) 2);
      
      
      
        //block.getType() returns Material.DIRT;
        player.getInventory().addItem(is);

Quick question though,

Why is ItemStack(int type, int amount, short damage, Byte data) depreciated? I don't quite get, "this method uses an ambiguous data byte object"

 

@Sheepii Something about ids and stuff getting removed. You shouldn't worry. Bukkit won't be updating any time soon.
