Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<T extends Block> List<T>	getChildrenByType(Class<T> blockClass, boolean recurse)	Deprecated. since 3.0M3 use Block#getBlocks(new ClassBlockMatcher(blockClass), Axes.DESCENDANT) instead if recurse was true and Block#getBlocks(new ClassBlockMatcher(blockClass), Axes.CHILD) otherwise
<T extends Block> T	getParentBlockByType(Class<T> blockClass)	Deprecated. since 3.0M3 use Block.getBlocks(BlockMatcher, Axes) instead

Method Detail

getParentBlockByType

@Deprecated
<T extends Block> T getParentBlockByType(Class<T> blockClass)

Deprecated.

since 3.0M3 use Block.getBlocks(BlockMatcher, Axes) instead

Recursively look at parents to find a block which inherits or is provided type.

The difference with getPreviousBlockByType(Class, boolean) is that this one only look at parent when getPreviousBlockByType(Class, boolean) look at previous block in the same parent.

Type Parameters:

T - the class of the Blocks to return

Parameters:

blockClass - the block class to look for

Returns:

the found block, null if nothing is found

Since:

1.9.1

getPreviousBlockByType

@Deprecated
<T extends Block> T getPreviousBlockByType(Class<T> blockClass,
                                           boolean recurse)

Deprecated.

since 3.0M3 use Block.getBlocks(BlockMatcher, Axes) instead

Look upward to find a block which inherit or is provided type.

The difference with getParentBlockByType(Class) is that this one look also at previous block in the same parent when getParentBlockByType(Class) only look at parents.

Type Parameters:

T - the class of the Blocks to return

Parameters:

blockClass - the block class to look for

recurse - if true also search in parents levels

Returns:

the found block, null if nothing is found

Since:

1.6M1

getChildrenByType

@Deprecated
<T extends Block> List<T> getChildrenByType(Class<T> blockClass,
                                            boolean recurse)

Deprecated.

since 3.0M3 use Block#getBlocks(new ClassBlockMatcher(blockClass), Axes.DESCENDANT) instead if recurse was true and Block#getBlocks(new ClassBlockMatcher(blockClass), Axes.CHILD) otherwise

Gets all the Blocks in the tree which are of the passed Block class.

Type Parameters:

T - the class of the Blocks to return

Parameters:

blockClass - the block class to look for

recurse - if true also search recursively children

Returns:

all the matching blocks

1.6M1
