How to setBlock in 1.12?

[jordsta95]

Simple question, how do you create a blockstate based on a registry name. 

 

What I essentially want to do is to be able to pass regName as a parameter, and have said block be created above the current block.

BlockPos pos = getPos();
String regName = "minecraft:stone";
world.setBlockState(new BlockPos(pos.getX(), (pos.getY() + 1), pos.getZ()), regName);

However, I understand that the second parameter is an instance of IBlockState, but I'm a little lost as to how I can create this using the registry name of a block, which I can then pass in as the variable.

 

Thanks,
Jordan

To get blockstate use Block#getDefaultState()

Block is the block you want to place, you can get it from block list like Blocks class

To get block by registry name, try going through ForgeRegistry
