Set Item names?!?!?

I know this is a simple question but how do I set a item name? For example I have something like this:

Code:

ItemStack bucket = new ItemStack(Material.LAVA_BUCKET);

How do I name the lava bucket GOLD?

 

Code:java

ItemStack bucket = new ItemStack(Material.LAVA_BUCKET);
ItemMeta im = bucket.getItemMeta();
im.setDisplayName("Gold");
bucket.setItemMeta(im);
 

 

This is not right!!! This is what I currently have and it does not name it!!!

Code:

ItemStack bucket = new ItemStack(Material.LAVA_BUCKET);
ItemMeta im = bucket.getItemMeta();
int goldlevel = getGold(name);
im.setDisplayName(ChatColor.BOLD + "" + ChatColor.GOLD + "Gold: " + goldlevel);
p1.getInventory().setItem(8, bucket);

It just gives the player a regular LavaBucket?

 

B3N909 You never applied the itemmeta on the itemstack.

 

This is wrong indeed, you didn't do as MrKeals said.

 

Sorry... I missed the packing part...

 

give the itemstack its own method so it doesn't look like a pile of crap

 

Says the person that can't type a sentence using capitalisation and punctuation..

 

TheMcScavenger
wow, i'm sorry, i never thought you needed to use proper grammar to help someone. my apologies.

 

You don't. You do however need to use capitalisation and punctuation in order for your comment to look good, before you start calling things "crap".

 

TheMcScavenger
i didn't call anyone's code crap i was just saying give the custom itemstack its own method so your code doesn't look horrible..

 

But you just said they were horrible?

 

B3N909
no i didn't? i said if you put your code for the itemstack in the same place as your if-statements or whatever then your code will look horrible and unorganized

 

It won't. Don't claim to know things when you clearly don't.

 

Lets not be rude on a public forums

TheMcScavenger hankered Can you guys actually help me now? And not try to make yourself look good? How do I remove items with a custom meta?

custm meta? i think if you make a for loop and go through all the items with #hasItemMeta and remove them. but I'm sure every item has a itemmeta so.

 

Code:java

for(ItemStack stack : player.getInventory().getContents()){
    ItemMeta meta = stack.getItemMeta();
    String displayName = meta.getDisplayName();
    if(displayName.equals("My name")){
        player.getInventory().remove(stack);
    }
}

Check if stack isn't null first or it will throw an NPE.

 

Just a quick draft, not the finished product

 

TheMcScavenger Gater12 I just tried and it would not check for my Lava Bucket. I am using PlayerClickEvent to see if the player clicks it. If they do it should cancell it. BUT if you shift and click you can dupe the item. That is what I am trying to fix!

 

B3N909
There is no PlayerClickEvent. Did you mean PlayerInteractEvent?

 

Gater12 sorry InventoryClickEvent

Gater12 is there any way to make the first item in the players inventory to 0 or air. So when they shift click it just sets to zero?

Your current code for your event method?

 

Gater12

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onClickSlot(InventoryClickEvent event){
if(event.getSlot() == 8){
event.setResult(Result.DENY);
event.setCancelled(true);
String p = event.getWhoClicked().getName();
Player usr = (Player)event.getWhoClicked();
usr.closeInventory();
int goldLevel = getGold(usr.getName().toLowerCase());
usr.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Gold: " + goldLevel);
UI(p);
}
}

UI(p); sets the player so he/she has a bucket with the correct gold level.

 

B3N909 not works because you didn't do what I said... You forgot

Code:java

bucket.setItemMeta(im);
