Solved Remove the potion effect from its display?

I was wondering how I would go about removing the potion effects from it's display? I need a red potion with custom effects. That requires me to use an instant health potion, but I don't want it to say Instant Health.

 

If you add custom effects, the damage value is ignored - just make it an instant health potion and then add your custom effects - they will override the instant health. This is a vanilla feature.

 

@_LB So there is no way to remove it entirely?

 

Adding custom effects does remove it entirely.

 

The OP asked how to make the actual ItemStack not show "Instant Health"

I believe I gave the answer that satisfied his needs.

 

If you think modifying the actual effects of a potion and modifying the text on its ItemStack are the same then you need to reevaluate your beliefs

 

Instead of telling me I am wrong, how about you actually try it out yourself? In fact I actually happen to have a plugin already written for you that does just that:
https://github.com/LB--/TestPlugin/tree/BUKKIT-3635
When you log in it gives you what looks like slowness potion, but it only has the speed 2 effect

 

Ah sorry I wasn't aware of PotionMeta, thought you still had to listen to potion drink/splash events and modify the effects there

 

Hmm... using this code

Code:

meta.addCustomEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED.createEffect(20*10, 1), true);

yields this result:
Speed II (0:10)
which is what I'm trying to avoid.

 

You have changed the requirements of your original post. before you just wanted custom effects on a potion of a certain color, now you want the custom effects to be hidden. As I sated earlier, you can use the HideFlags.

 

_LB I apologize that "remove it entirely" didn't get my point across. Could you please explain what these HideFlags are? I looked back through the thread and don't see any mention of them.

 

Oops, I think I backspaced the text where I mentioned them. You should ask NathanWolf how he did it, I think you have to use CB or NMS.

 

_LB Thank you for your help. I will PM NathanWolf and if I get an answer I will include it in the OP and mark the thread as solved.

 

My ears are burning!

HideFlags is a 1.8 feature, unfortunately.... I'm waiting in anticipation

Supposedly that will work for all the baked-in lore, like the "Damage" on tools, the song on a record, effect on a firework charge, etc. I can't wait... I haven't actually tested this myself, though I am pre-emptively setting the flag on my items already.

I'd also hope that sometime in 1.8. Bukkit will add an API for this flag (and Unbreakable, Invulnerable, etc....) - in the meantime you can use NMS or an NBT lib to set the flag yourself, though it won't really do anything until 1.8.
