Get the location of an InventoryHolder

It has been a while since I had to post something here

But anyway, I need a way to get the location of an InventoryHolder in general, not just a chest, that can be done with casting.

What I got is here, and as you can see I only have DoubleChests, StorageMinecarts and Chests, but I want to be able to have all different types of InventoryHolders...

Thanks in advance,

Check for Beacon, ContainerBlock, DoubleChest, Dropper, Hopper, HumanEntity, HopperMinecart, StorageMinecart. These are all possible InventoryHolders.

 

I know, but that would make it a huge if else if statement, I hoped something simpler would be possible.

 

I don't know any other way. Maybe some fun with reflection?

 

Afaik there are only 3 different scenarios: The InventoryHolder either is a DoubleChest, implements BlockState or implements Entity. So you'd just need to check for:

Code:

if(ih instanceof BlockState) {
  location = ((BlockState) ih).getLocation();
} else if(ih instanceof Entity) {
  location = ((Entity) ih).getLocation();
} else if(ih instanceof DoubleChest) {
  location = ((DoubleChest) ih).getLocation();
} else {
  // report unexpected error to be sure
}

 

That is pretty much what I was looking for, thanks

Look at Inheritance diagram.

 

I already looked at that, but that doesn't show that those things are also implementing BlockState/Entity
