Solved setDisplayName() not working

Hey there, I'm trying to make a little program for which I need to get the display name of an ItemStack.
I tried doing the following, but the get method send a blank string to the console.

Code:

item.getItemMeta().setDisplayName("The beginner's axe");
       
Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage( ChatColor.RED + item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName() );

This is obviously not the functionality that I want in my program, but I think it's a better way of presenting the problem. Any help on this? I can't really see why that wouldn't work...

 

Oh, so the ItemMeta isn't settable attribute by attribute? Why is that?

It works, so thanks a lot ^^

 

Code:Java

@Nullable
public ItemMeta getItemMeta() {
    return this.meta == null ? Bukkit.getItemFactory().getItemMeta(this.type) : this.meta.clone();
}

Yeah, it returns a clone.

 

Oh, thanks guys ^^
