Damage Values

Hey i have a material but i would like to get the damage value

Code:

Material mat;

//i can get my  ID easily using

mat.getID();

//how do i get the damage value?

 

The item 'damage' value is not in the Material, it is an attribute for Item(Stack)s.

Code:

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.WOOL, 64);
short dam = 8;
item.setDurability(dam);
dam = item.getDurability();

For blocks you probably have to use getData() and/or getState()/or getState().getData()

For blocks you probably need to cast the MaterialData to a certain type. Example: wool

Code:

Block b = event.getClickedBlock();
if (b != null && b.getType() == Material.WOOL) {
    Wool w = (Wool) b.getState().getData();
    DyeColor color = w.getColor();
}

Or try to convert the block to an ItemStack (toItemStack()) and get the durability value from that.

 

But im using this to get my material

Code:java

 
MaterialData dat = new MaterialData(id, data);
        return dat.getItemType();
 

Im not trying to get damage values but item types such as 17:2

Are you using Material or MaterialData? Material does not have data, but MaterialData has a getData() method. Other objects like Block and ItemStack also have a getData() method. But Material itself is the type, so it doesn't have data.
