ItemStack from Config

How can I set the material of an itemstack using the config:

I've tried using this but I'm getting a NPE:

Code:java

            Set<String> kits = plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Kits").getKeys(false);
 
            for (String kitNames : kits) {
 
                ItemStack items = new ItemStack(Material.DIRT);
                items.setType(Material.getMaterial(plugin.getConfig().getString("Kits." + kits + ".ItemImage")));
                items.setAmount(1);
                ItemMeta itemsMeta = items.getItemMeta();
                itemsMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GOLD + kitNames);
                items.setItemMeta(itemsMeta);
                inventory.addItem(items);
 
            }

However the actual config has this:

Code:java

Kits:
  Example:
    ItemImage: WOOD

So I'm unsure to why it's giving the error at line 48: which is:
items.setType(Material.getMaterial(plugin.getConfig().getString("Kits." + kits + ".ItemImage")));

to store material: keep the material as string (Material.toString()
to get it : Material.fromString(string);

There is no fromString method in the Material class.

 

Code:java

            Set<String> kits = plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Kits").getKeys(false);
 
            for (String kitNames : kits) {
 
                ItemStack items = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(plugin.getConfig().getString("Kits." + kits + ".ItemImage", 1)));             
                ItemMeta itemsMeta = items.getItemMeta();
                itemsMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GOLD + kitNames);
                items.setItemMeta(itemsMeta);
                inventory.addItem(items);
 
            }

elementalgodz11 well, my point as more like, store the material as string, and get it from a string..
