Placing an array of blocks (Like spleef when it resets.)

You all know what WorldEdit is, right? Good. So I have two positions set in my plugin, all I did was save the X, Y, and Z coords in the config. But how can I place a ton of blocks going from pos1 to pos2? For example: When a spleef round is over, all the blocks in the arena reset back to snow. How is this done? Thanks!

 

AcpSoldier Hi,
here is my Library wich does taht what you are expecting, with an easy API to integrate in to your plugin

Basically, you don't need a ton of extra work. It's a triple nested for loop through the x, y, and z. It would be preferable to save it in a Block[][][] array for this reason.

 

xTrollxDudex BlockState, I presume.

 

Or Material

 

xTrollxDudex Poor tile entities will lose their data now ;-;

 

Aww

Personally, I've had good results with TerrainManager from DHutils (Google it).

 

go to one corner, have your plugin store the coordinates of that corner.
go to the exact opposite corner, have your plugin store the coordinates of that corner.

Code:java

Location loc1; //location of corner 1
Location loc2; //location of corner 2
 
//magic to store corner locations here
 
int maxX;
int maxY;
int maxZ;
 
int minX;
int minY;
int minZ;
 
if(loc1.getBlockX() >= loc2.getBlockX()){
  maxX = loc1.getBlockX();
  minX = loc2.getBlockX();
} else {
  maxX = loc2.getBlockX();
  minX = loc1.getBlockX();
}
 
//repeat if statement for Y and Z.
 
for(int x = minX; x <= maxX; x++){
  for(int y = minY; y <= maxY; y++){
    for(int z = minZ; z <= maxZ; z++){
      (new Location(<world name>,x,y,z).getBlock().setType(Material.<block you want>);
    }
  }
}

Left a few holes for you to fill in, but that should put you in the right direction
