Solved Give a block a number like an ID.

Okay, What i want to do is when a block is placed give it some kind of number. Thats basically it.

 

Create a Map and put the block's location with an id in it, e.g.:

Code:

//Somewhere in your class
private Map<Location, Integer> blockIds = new HashMap<Location, Integer>();

//In your block place event
blockIds.put(e.getBlock().getLocation, new Random().nextInt(1000));

 

@megamichiel
"new Random().nextInt(1000)" this part here , what does it mean

 

.nextInt(1000) generated a random generated number from 0 to 999

 

@FisheyLP oh, ok ty

 

You can always use UUIDs, even if it's not an entity. Create a UUID for your block and store it in a HashMap.

If you don't mind, may I have an example?

 

Code:

public Hashmap<Object, UUID> thing = new Hashmap<>();
                public UUID id = UUID.randomUUID();
