Get enchantments by name

I don't know if there's any easier way of getting enchantments by their in-game names, but I just made a switch for all enchantments using this list. Feel free to use if you need it

Code:

public static Enchantment getEnchantment(String name) {
    switch (name.trim().toLowerCase()) {
        case "protection":
            return Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL;
        case "fireprotection":
            return Enchantment.PROTECTION_FIRE;
        case "featherfalling":
            return Enchantment.PROTECTION_FALL;
        case "blastprotection":
            return Enchantment.PROTECTION_EXPLOSIONS;
        case "projectileprotection":
            return Enchantment.PROTECTION_PROJECTILE;
        case "respiration":
            return Enchantment.OXYGEN;
        case "aquaaffinity":
            return Enchantment.WATER_WORKER;
        case "thorns":
            return Enchantment.THORNS;
        case "unbreaking":
            return Enchantment.DURABILITY;
        case "sharpness":
            return Enchantment.DAMAGE_ALL;
        case "smite":
            return Enchantment.DAMAGE_UNDEAD;
        case "baneofarthropods":
            return Enchantment.DAMAGE_ARTHROPODS;
        case "knockback":
            return Enchantment.KNOCKBACK;
        case "fireaspect":
            return Enchantment.FIRE_ASPECT;
        case "looting":
            return Enchantment.LOOT_BONUS_MOBS;
        case "efficiency":
            return Enchantment.DIG_SPEED;
        case "silktouch":
            return Enchantment.SILK_TOUCH;
        case "fortune":
            return Enchantment.LOOT_BONUS_BLOCKS;
        case "power":
            return Enchantment.ARROW_DAMAGE;
        case "punch":
            return Enchantment.ARROW_KNOCKBACK;
        case "flame":
            return Enchantment.ARROW_FIRE;
        case "infinity":
            return Enchantment.ARROW_INFINITE;
        default:
            return null;
    }
}

 

Better to loop through all enchantment values, then you automatically support all future enchantments too. I'll post my function here when I'm back on the computer.

 

Did you guys try Enchantment.getByName(); ?

 

Neodork - yes, but it wasn't flexible enough for my needs. I need to make sure my users can type the underscore or not and don't want to worry about case sensitivity. My function below could probably use a little cleaning up but works fine for me

PHP:

    /** Takes a enchantment name by string and matches
    *  to an enchantment value using a little fuzzy
    *  matching (strip any space, underscore or dash
    *  and case doesn't matter)
    * 
    * @param enchString
    * @return
    */
    private static Enchantment getEnchantment(String enchString) {
        // Clean up string - make lowercase and strip space/dash/underscore
        enchString = enchString.toLowerCase().replaceAll("[ _-]", "");
 
        // Set up aliases (this could probably be done outside the function so
        // we only do it once (eg. in a support class init or read from a file)
        Map <String, String> aliases = new HashMap<String, String>();
        aliases.put("aspectfire", "fireaspect");
        aliases.put("sharpness", "damageall");
        aliases.put("smite", "damageundead");
        aliases.put("punch", "arrowknockback");
        aliases.put("looting", "lootbonusmobs");
        aliases.put("fortune", "lootbonusblocks");
        aliases.put("baneofarthropods", "damageundead");
        aliases.put("power", "arrowdamage");
        aliases.put("flame", "arrowfire");
        aliases.put("infinity", "arrowinfinite");
        aliases.put("unbreaking", "durability");
        aliases.put("efficiency", "digspeed");
        aliases.put("smite", "damageundead");
 
        // If an alias exists, use it
        String alias = aliases.get(enchString);
        if (alias != null)
            enchString = alias;
 
        // Loop through all enchantments and match (case insensitive and ignoring space,
        // underscore and dashes
        for (Enchantment value : Enchantment.values()) {
            if (enchString.equalsIgnoreCase(value.getName().replaceAll("[ _-]", ""))) {
                return value;
            }
        }
       
        return null; // nothing found.
    }

edit: lots of edits because code wouldn't format properly :\

 

Cool function, might as well use yours instead of mine. It's really nice

 

Moved to the correct forum.
