use name() or toString() http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Enum.html

EDIT: nvm you're trying toString(), anyway, try name()

 

Thanks for the Answer !
Hm, but with that i convert the Enum to a String, right? (Because i would convert String -> Enum )

EDIT:

 

Try <enum name>.valueOf("string");

Example:
GameMode gameMode = GameMode.valueOf("PVP");

 

Ok, thanks !

Ah, one thing:

How i can get the direction if i clicked a block? Because i would set a block if i click with a blaze rode on a block, but for that i need the direction.. With BlockFace i can check the opposite face, but not the block :/
