Solved Get color from colored blocks

Hello people. I have a bunch of questions again but I think I will just ask this one.

The title says everything. I have to get a color from blocks like wool, clay, or the new stained glass.
With wool it's easy, because it has it's own class, with colorable implemented. So I just have to write

Code:java

if(((Wool)woolblock.getState().getData()).getColor.equals(DyeColor.RED)){
    //it IS red
}

.
But how about the other ones? they don't have any classes or something.
How can I get the color from colored blocks?

Hoping for some help!

 

TheA13X Might be added to the API on a later state. For now you could write an enumeration as a temporary replacement.

 

okay. Thanks, but how can an enumeration help?
Shouldn't I have a way to assign the color of the blocks first?

 

TheA13X Just to make your code more readable .

Code:java

public class ColourUtil
{
    private static Set<Material> colourable = EnumSet.of(Material.WOOL, Material.STAINED_GLASS, Material.STAINED_CLAY, Material.STAINED_GLASS_PANE);
 
    public static ItemStack colourIt(Material mat, Wool colour) throws IllegalArgumentException
    {
        if(!colourable.contains(mat))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Material is not colourable!");
        return new ItemStack(mat, 1, (short)colour.getData());
    }
 
    public static void colourIt(Block block, Wool colour) throws IllegalArgumentException
    {
        if(!colourable.contains(block.getType()))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Material is not colourable!");
        block.setData(colour.getData());
        block.getState().update(true);
    }
 
    public DyeColor getColour(Block block)
    {
        if(!colourable.contains(block.getType()))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Material is not colourable!");
        byte data = block.getData();
        return DyeColor.getByWoolData(data);
    }
 
    public DyeColor getColour(ItemStack stack)
    {
        if(!colourable.contains(stack.getType()))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Material is not colourable!");
        byte data = stack.getDurability();
        return DyeColor.getByWoolData(data);
    }
}

A small utility class for colours. The colouring seems to be the same as for wool (how surprising).
