    • getBlockData

      @NotNull @NotNull BlockData getBlockData()

    • getDropItem

      boolean getDropItem()
      Get if the falling block will break into an item if it cannot be placed.

      Note that if getCancelDrop() is true, the falling block will not drop an item regardless of whether or not the returned value is true.

      Returns:
      true if the block will break into an item when obstructed
    • setDropItem

      void setDropItem(boolean drop)
      Set if the falling block will break into an item if it cannot be placed.

      Note that if getCancelDrop() is true, the falling block will not drop an item regardless of whether or not the value is set to true.

      Parameters:
      drop - true to break into an item when obstructed
    • getCancelDrop

      boolean getCancelDrop()
      Get if the falling block will not become a block upon landing and not drop an item.

      Unlike getDropItem(), this property will prevent the block from forming into a block when it lands, causing it to disappear. If this property is true and getDropItem() is true, an item will NOT be dropped.

      Returns:
      true if the block will disappear
    • setCancelDrop

      void setCancelDrop(boolean cancelDrop)
      Get if the falling block will not become a block upon landing and not drop an item.
