get chests inventory

Hello guys,
I want to remove or add Items into a chest.
The plugin have to check, whether the Block at the specific location is a chest.

Code:

public boolean getInventory() {
        BlockState state = location.getBlock().getState();
     
        if (state instanceof Chest) {
            return ((Chest) state).getInventory();
        }
     
        return false;
    }

in the Line

Code:

return ((Chest) state).getInventory();

there is an error, but I don't know, why.

the error is

Code:

incomptible types
 
required: boolean
found: org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory

Please Help me.

well in the function you say, it will return a boolean

Code:

public boolean getInventory() {
[...]

but

Code:

((Chest)state).getInventory();

returns Inventory which is NOT a boolean.

so either change the return type to object or the Inventory and instead of false you can return null then.
