Regenerating blocks

Hi, basically what I want this plugin to do is that when there is an explosion, it regenerates each of those blocks one at a time every 1 second. This is a snippet of my code so far but its not working. Please check it out

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void regenBlocks(final EntityExplodeEvent event) {
 
        final List<Block> explodedBlocks = event.blockList();
 
        getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this,
                new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        if (explodedBlocks.size() > 0) {
 
 
                            Random random = new Random();
                            int regenBlock = random.nextInt(explodedBlocks
                                    .size());
 
                            final Block block = explodedBlocks.get(regenBlock);
                            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(block.getType().toString());
 
                            explodedBlocks.get(regenBlock).setType(
                                    block.getType());
                            explodedBlocks.remove(regenBlock);
                        } else {
                            if (explodedBlocks.size() >= 0)
                                getServer().getScheduler().cancelAllTasks();
                            else
                                return;
                        }
                    }
                }, 0, 20);
 
    }

 

bananashavings You are setting the blocks type to the type it already has, which does nothing. You'd need to store both the Block and its Material.

 

Thanks for replying. Are you able to post any code?

 

bananashavings I don't like to spoonfeed people code, but I have suggestions. Either make your own class for handling it (like an object that takes in the parameters of Block and Material) and store it in a list, or use a Map/HashMap to store both the Block and Material.

 

xTigerRebornx Its not that im lazy, im just unexperienced so any code would help. Im sorry if this frustrates you but I really appreciate help

 

Look up Block State.

 

PatoTheBest Could you please help me with code if possible

 

Code:

List<BlockState> states = new ArrayList<>();

// Listener
states.add(event.getBlock().getState());

// Rollback
for (BlockState state : states) {
    state.update(true);
    states.remove(state);
}
