Get a random block around the player (x, z)

How do i get a random block around the player? on the x,z plane not y..

 

Random random = new Random();

player.getLocation().getRelative(random.nextInt(5) - 2, 0, random.nextInt(5) - 2);

 

@Pandemoneus why the -2 ?

 

Because random.nextInt(5) returns a value from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. You would then only get locations in the positive direction. If you subtract 2, you will get relative locations from -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 from the player, which, combined with Z, can be in a square around him.

Example:
Without -2:
P = player
X = any block

--> positive X
X X X X X
X X X X X
P X X X X ^
X X X X X | positive Z
X X X X X |

With -2:
--> positive X
X X X X X
X X X X X
X X P X X ^
X X X X X | positive Z
X X X X X |

 

ah, ok...

Thanks!
