Just do not spawn tiles unless there is an unoccupied location.

private boolean canPlace(Actor actor, int x, int y)
{ 
    if (actor == null) return false; 
    // other checks returning false if actor cannot be placed 
    return true; 
     
    if (y > 1 && getObjectsAt(x, y-2, Actor.class).get(0).getClass() == actor.getClass() && getObjectsAt(x, y-1, Actor.class).get(0).getClass() == actor.getClass()) 
    { return false; } 
}
But i am still getting the error that all of the if statement is an 'unreachable statement'

Absolutely .... NOT. Because we are placing them in an across'n'down fashion, there will never be any tiles to the right or below as you place them.

Line 7 is one of those checks mentioned in my comment at line 4. Move line 7 to where it is supposed to go.

so should the actor == null if statement at line 3 be removed or should i put it in the && line with the rest?

That should be left alone. It should be the first statement; and it should return false if it alone is true.

Ok, rather quickly ran into a problem. My plan is with each of the tile actors that i can click them and then when they are selected move them up, down left or right, this I believe I can do with my experience so far but then i have to get the two actors to switch places, and I can't really think of any smart way to do that so I'd like to ask if you had an 'easy'/smart way to go around that.

Also if there is a way to select an actor with the Greenfoot.mouseClicked(this) command, so to keep the object selected until one presses a certain key with the Greenfoot.isKeyDown("s") command

        {
            if (Greenfoot.mousePressed(this))
            {
                state = 1;
            }
        }
        else if (state == 1)
        {
            movement();
        }
    }
    public void movement()
    {
        if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("w") && Greenfoot.isKeyDown("a") && Greenfoot.isKeyDown("s") && Greenfoot.isKeyDown("d"))
        {
            setLocation(getX(), getY() - 1);
            state = 0;
        }
    }
even though i get no errors nothing happens when i click a sword tile, which is the one i put the code into

Instead of using an 'int' field, try an 'Actor' field. When an actor is clicked, set it to the actor. When a switch is made, set it back to 'null'. Since you do not want more than one Actor to be selected at any time, the 'Actor field will need to be 'static' or be located in your world subclass. That way, if a different one is clicked on before a key is pressed, it will change its value to it (instead of two tiles thinking that they are selected at the same time -- you certainly do not want to have two sets of tiles swapped with each other).

New problem, after saving this project in my Dropbox some of the things have been altered quite a bit i think. I changed the code back to what it was before but now i get the message: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0 at java.util.ArrayList.rangeCheck(ArrayList.java:635) at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:411) at Bejeweled_World.canPlace(Bejeweled_World.java:25) at Bejeweled_World.prepare(Bejeweled_World.java:34) at Bejeweled_World.<init>(Bejeweled_World.java:17) at Main_Control.<init>(Main_Control.java:27) my current code for Main_Control and Bejeweled_World:

I fixed the previous problem with the outofbounds statement by replacing the folder with an older copy.

I don't quite understand what you mean with the Actor field, could you give an example of how to use it?
