Configurable item material

So, i'm developing a plugin, and in this plugin there's an ItemStack. I want to add item material to the config file. This is what i've tried

Code:

            HealItem.setType(getConfig().getString("Material"));

It says "The method setType(Material) in the type ItemStack is not applicable for the arguments (String)"

Any other solutions?

 

You need to do Material.matchMaterial(getConfig().getString("Material")).
But first check is it null, and if it is use a default material, and log that the one in config does not exist.

 

getConfig().getString("Material")

You're getting a string from the config... You'll need to use Material#getMaterial(string);

EDIT: Ninja'd by @ArsenArsen

 

Is this ok?

Code:

Material.matchMaterial(getConfig().getString("Material")).

 

@stimoze Not sure if matchMaterial cares about case so if that doesn't work do .toUpperCase

 

I tested it out and it worked Thank you guys for helping me

 

It does not

getMaterial (Something like that) does

 

It does i have this code

Code:

HealItem.setType(Material.matchMaterial(getConfig().getString("Material")));

 

I meant it does that care if it's mixed case.
