Wool variable

Hi, I've create block like:

Code:

b.getWorld().getBlockAt(b.getLocation().subtract(0, -3, 0)).setType(Material.WOOL);

I know its wool(because I set it), and I want to put this block to the variable Wool,
I was thinking about that, but Im not sure if this gonna work:

Code:

Block b1 =b.getWorld().getBlockAt(b.getLocation().subtract(0, -3, 0));
        Wool w =(Wool) b1;  

Am I wrong and can you help me if I am?
Thank you

 

No, that would work. But for a safer way I'd do something like:

Code:java

 
Block b1 =b.getWorld().getBlockAt(b.getLocation().subtract(0, -3, 0));
Material w = b1.getType();
 

 

Like, Your code and then my code? Or Just Yours?
because, I need it in Wool variable.
Sorry, Im stupid.
But, Thank you for reassurance

 

You can't cast Block to Wool because Wool is a MaterialData, not a Block.

Code:

Wool wool = (Wool)bw.getState().getData();

Thank you, but Im trying to get coloured wool, am I doing anything wrong there?:

Code:

 Block b1 =b.getWorld().getBlockAt(b.getLocation().subtract(0, -3, 0));
            Wool w = (Wool)b1.getState().getData();
            w.setColor(DyeColor.BLUE);

 

Code:

BlockState state = b1.getState();
Wool wool = (Wool)state.getData();
wool.setColor(DyeColor.BLUE);
state.update();

 

cant you just set the data value with block.setData(byte) ?
