Solved Setting block type with byte?

I'm currently using block.setType to set a block near a player, however I'm placing a half slap thats toward the top of a block (if that makes sense) but I cant set byte using settype

 

@kampai setDurability

 

@bwfcwalshy
How would I use that I'm kind of confused, setDurability can change the position of a half slab?

 

@kampai Oh I get what you want now, I thought you wanted to edit the data value of it. I'm not actually sure how you would make the slab on the top or bottom, I will look into it.

 

@bwfcwalshy
Hopefully you can find something, i tried and I didnt find anything

 

@kampai Do you have a Block or an ItemStack?

 

That is the data.
Slab has data values which correspond to type and orientation.
I cannot find anything else but setData(theByte)

 

I got it.

Code:

//I am using BlockPlaceEvent

Block b = e.getBlock();
b.setData((byte) 8);

This will make it at the top, data 0 is bottom. This is deprecated, not sure what it was replaced with.

@ArsenArsen Yeah I printed the data and found them

 

I do not think it has a replacement. I thought its using material data, but I could not find it.

 

@bwfcwalshy
I needed as a blocked since thats the only thing block.setType accepts
@ArsenArsen
I've tried

Code:

.setData(new MaterialData(Material.STEP, (byte) 8));

But it doesnt set hte block
(fullcode)

Code:

                final Block block5 = location.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.WEST);
                block5.setType(Material.getMaterial(44));
                block5.getState().setData(new MaterialData(Material.STEP, (byte) 7));

 

Ohh theres a replacement! Ok you missed block5.getState().update()

 

Alright I got it to work! Thanks guys!

 

@kampai No problem, please mark this thread as solved.
