/give data tags API

Hey guys! By any chance do you guys know if there is an API or function somewhere in NMS or bukkit code that you enter a string it it tries to parse the data tags in the /give command? If so what is it?

 

@CaptainUniverse you mean for example: i do /give ironingot and it understands it? Well you need to make your own table of words related to objects, or develop an algorythm (or regex) to match input string with material values. for example check if input string matches AMaterialValue.toString().replace("_","").toLowerCase();
Regex is not my thing so i cant provide an example

 

No I mean the like nbt tags like {displayName:{lol}} those ones which are at the end of the command

@CaptainUniverse oh, still no, not something im aware of atlest
Sorry for not helping :3

 

Oh well I tried looking into the bukkit code and the nms code but most of it is abstract and its hard to see what does what. Anyone else know maybe how essentials does it or just bukkit?

Anyone?

@CaptainUniverse Isn't that just JSON?

 

Im not sure but even it is @Konato_K it still takes a long time to read it. Is there any API for this in NMS code anyone?

 

@CaptainUniverse Bukkit calls this when the bukkit /give command is used

Code:

stack = Bukkit.getUnsafe().modifyItemStack(stack, Joiner.on(' ').join(Arrays.asList(args).subList(4, args.length)));

So, basically modifyItemStack takes the item and the String is the data tags.

 

So will it call an exception if the parsing is wrong? If it does what exception?

 

@CaptainUniverse I believe it's MojangsonParseException
