Give Players Items

Hey, I am sitting here, trying to figure out the code to give a player an item, and have it custom named. if you can help please let me know!

 

Code:java

 
//Creates a new ItemStack of 1 dirt
ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Material.DIRT, 1);
 
//Gets the dirt's metadata so we can name it
ItemMeta meta = stack.getItemMeta();
 
//Name the dirt "Special Dirt"
meta.setDisplayName("Special Dirt");
 
//Assign the modified ItemMeta to the dirt
stack.setItemMeta(meta);
 
//Give the special dirt to player
player.getInventory().add(stack);

you forgot:

Code:java

stack.setItemMeta(meta);

 

Datdenkikniet Would you need to do that? In Java, variables are references, so changing meta should also change stack's meta because they're the same instance.

 

ow :s

 

Yes, you do need to do that, since .getMetaData() will only get you a copy of the meta data object (similar to .getLocation() etc)

 

Yep, ya need to
