Itemlist in config

Hello.

Could you show me an example to keep ItemList in configuration file?

I mean ID:TYPE, count


Of course I can make arrays
[ID,type,count]
...
But there is no other better option ?

 

@dram you can make a configuration manager class to load it from the list of strings and parse ids, datavalues ect.
The other, better way is to use a configurationSection as so:

items:
...ItemOne
......itemname: name
......itemData: data
and so on...

 

If your wanting a list of items in config with a percentage, i usually use this method,

Items:
- 'ID:dataValue:rare'

the rare works with an arrayList. for example the 'rare' is 10.
that item will be added to the arrayList 10 times.
then a random item will be picked from that arrayList.
the way it works:

Code:

            for (String items : Main.getInstance().getConfig().getStringList("Items")) {
                String[] str = items.split(":");
                int rare = Integer.parseInt(str[2]);
                for (int i = 0; i < rare; i++) {
                    itemsList.add(str[0] + ":" + str[1]);
                }
            }

then you can get the item id/value with this,

Code:

                Random random = new Random();
                int r = random.nextInt(itemsList.size());

                String[] choice = itemsList.get(r).split(":");
                player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(choice[0]), 1, Short.parseShort(choice[1])));
