Adding * wildcard in config for items/blocks

Plugins Plugin Development
1

I am helping a friend on a plugin that is a basic chunk claiming and protection system. In the plugin it has a config that adds blocks/items to a white-list that other players can interact with if there not the claim owner in that chunk. right now you have to list each block one by one like

minecraft:chest
or
appliedenergistics2:drive

I am sort of new to sponge with a lil knowledge in forge.
can anyone help point me in the right direction to adding a option to allow a * wildcard so we can input items/blocks like that if needed?

^^^ how i want to be able to input into the config for every item/block from that mod

Assuming that your current code is something like this

ConfigurationNode node;
Collection<BlockType> blocks = node.getChildrenList().stream().map(c -> {
        String value = c.getString();
        Optional<BlockType> opBlock = Sponge.getRegistery().getType(BlockType.class, value);
        if(opBlock.isPresent()){
            return opBlock.get();
        }
        //something went wrong
    }).collect(Collectors.toList()));

then you would know that this gets a single value and parses that value, multiple parses from one value isnt allowed. So you need to go for a more … Bukkit styled.

ConfigurationNode node;
Collection<BlockType> blocks = new HashSet<>();
node.getChildrenList().map(ConfigurationNode::toString).forEach(value -> {
    if(value.endsWith("*")){
        //'*' WILDCARD DETECTED
       String from = value.split(":")[0]; //gets the mod id from the block id
       Sponge.getRegistery().getAllOf(BlockType.class).stream().filter(block -> block.getId().startsWith(from)).forEach(blockType -> blocks.add(blockType));
    }else{
        Optional<BlockType> opBlock = Sponge.getRegistery().getType(BlockType.class, value);
        if(opBlock.isPresent()){
            blocks.add(opBlock.get());
        }else{
            //BLOCK NOT FOUND
        }
    }
});

Im doing this from my phone so spelling and correct names may not be correct, but should get the idea over.

edit thanks to RedNesto:

ConfigurationNode node;
Collection<BlockType> blocks = new HashSet<>();
node.getChildrenList().map(ConfigurationNode::toString).forEach(value -> {
    if(value.endsWith("*")){
        //'*' WILDCARD DETECTED
       String from = value.split(":")[0]; //gets the mod id from the block id
       blocks.addAll(Sponge.getRegistery().getAllFor(from, BlockType.class));
    }else{
        Optional<BlockType> opBlock = Sponge.getRegistery().getType(BlockType.class, value);
        if(opBlock.isPresent()){
            blocks.add(opBlock.get());
        }else{
            //BLOCK NOT FOUND
        }
    }
});

I think you can event use GameRegistry#getAllFor with the mod id to not have to filter types at all.
