Removing/not displaying item name

Hi,

Is there a way to remove an item's name so the description box doesn't show up when the user mouses-over it?



That glass is a filler item for the inventory, and yes, for irrelevant reasons it absolutely must be there.

I thought about settings its name to ChatColor.BLACK + name but that'd still show the box.

Ideally I wouldn't want to check every single mouseover event and cancel the box-showing (if that is even possible) because of lag.

New ItemStack with "" as name?

 

Like this? Tried it and it doesn't work:

Code:

ItemMeta meta = iS.getItemMeta();
       
        meta.setDisplayName(name);
       
        iS.setItemMeta(meta);

 

@Rixterz
Well, replace the "name" param with " "

 

Why place the glass panes at all?

 

That's closer to what I want, but the box still shows.

 

It's always gonna show the box unless you don't place an item there

 

@Rixterz The box is going to show no matter what, as @Xerox262 explained above. If you don't want the box to show, remove the item in the slot completely. The best thing you can get is setting the itemname to null or ""

 

@SuperSniper
Probably wouldn't advise setting the name to null

 

There wouldn't be a problem with setting it to null. All internal methods using it check that there is a display name, which has a null check. And any proper plugin would also check for it.

 

I just checked because of his post, I knew it wouldn't cause any problems, however setting a item name to null just returns it to the normal name.

Ah, ok.
