Colored Leather Armour

Can anyone help me with the code for dying Leather Armour?
Im starting a kits server and I am the coder as well but I just cant seem to figure out how to dye leather and automatically set it in the players Armour GUI.
So basically I want to have a black helmet and black chestplate for example (both leather) but I have no idea how to code it to the point where it distributes it to the players as a black helmet or chestplate.
Any help?
I know there is an easier way for the soup but I forgot how to do it XD
Here is my code for currently...

Code:

package me.TCOB055.PvPKit;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class PvPKit extends JavaPlugin{
   
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if (commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("pvp")){
        //this is the permission    V
        if (player.hasPermission("Kit.PVP")){
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "You have received the kit...." + ChatColor.GOLD + "PVP");
        player.getInventory().clear();
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD));
        player.getInventory().setHelmet(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_HELMET));
        player.getInventory().setChestplate(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE));
        player.getInventory().setLeggings(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_LEGGINGS));
        player.getInventory().setBoots(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_BOOTS));
        //SOUP! Learn how to use "for" command
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
       
       
       
       
       
        } else {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You cannot use this kit!");
        }
        return false;
    }
        return false;
}
 
}

 

Code:java

ItemStack helm = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_HELMET);
LeatherArmorMeta meta = (LeatherArmorMeta) helm.getItemMeta();
meta.setColor(Color.BLACK);

And for the soup make a for loop.

 

TCO_007

To dye leather armor (I think):

Code:java

ItemStack helmet = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_HELMET, 1);
LeatherArmorMeta helmmeta = (LeatherArmorMeta) helmet.getItemMeta();
helmmeta.setColor( Your Color Here );
helmet.setItemMeta(helmmeta);
 
 

I see help threads for plugins similar to this very often. Though I am not criticizing you, I have issue with the mushroom soup. I see this in the other threads as well. Why would you copy paste so many lines of mushroom soup? You can just do:

Code:java

int slots = 60 //or whatever you need
 
for (int i = 0; i < slots; i++) {
player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
}

Again, not trying to be mean, you shouldn't be coding java without first knowing basic loops or without having the logical creativity to know when to use a loop.

That aside, happy coding

*******EDIT: Didn't see post above mine ^. Says relatively same thing

 

I knew i was suppose to use a loop but I kept putting it in the wrong place i didnt realize it lol. I just saw copy and pasting was working so i just did that. Thanks for letting me know how to do it though. Ill see if this works. Thanks!

Oops. Sorry for the double post. Ok, so i put the information you gave me into the code but now how do i set it into the players inventory? Sorry if that seems like a dumb question. Im new to plugins and coding as you can tell XD
Sorry, I plan on fixing the mushroom soup. Just trying to figure this out first.
So should it look like this now?

WOOHOO! Thanks so much guys! I got it working! I also changed the soup into a for loop. Thanks for that advice XD
Here is the finished code for the pvp kit. Anything you guys recommend i should add/change?
I'm still going to add like a "One kit per life thing" but I still need to figure out how to do that lol. Im new to bukkit coding.

Code:

package me.TCOB055.PvPKit;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Color;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.LeatherArmorMeta;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class PvPKit extends JavaPlugin{
   
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if (commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("pvp")){
        //this is the permission    V
        if (player.hasPermission("Kit.PVP")){
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "You have received the kit...." + ChatColor.GOLD + "PVP");
        player.getInventory().clear();
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD));
        player.getInventory().setHelmet(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_HELMET));
        //Leather tut V
        ItemStack chestplateBlack = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE, 1);
        LeatherArmorMeta chestplatemeta = (LeatherArmorMeta) chestplateBlack.getItemMeta();
        chestplatemeta.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        chestplateBlack.setItemMeta(chestplatemeta);
        //Leather tut ^
        player.getInventory().setLeggings(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_LEGGINGS));
        //SOUP! Learn how to use "for" command
        for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
            player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP));
            }
        player.getInventory().setChestplate(chestplateBlack);
        //adding leather ^
        ItemStack bootsBlack = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS, 1);
        LeatherArmorMeta bootsmeta = (LeatherArmorMeta) bootsBlack.getItemMeta();
        bootsmeta.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        bootsBlack.setItemMeta(bootsmeta);
        player.getInventory().setBoots(bootsBlack);
       
       
       
       
        } else {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You cannot use this kit!");
        }
        return false;
    }
        return false;
}
 
}
