Solved How to hide items' lore? (ProtocolLib?)

I need to hide some items' lore(prevent them from sending to players' client, not remove it). I think ProtocolLib is the best way to do it, but after checked ProtocolLib's javadoc and example source codes, I have no idea. Can somebody tell me how to do it(with or without(?) protocolLib)? Thanks .

 

@OrangeGuy
Why are you wanting to set lore then not allow the players to see it? If you're trying to make the item "carry" data in the form of Lore, I suggest doing Item.setMetadata( String metadataKey, MetadataValue newMetadataValue)

 

How can I do that? Can you gimme a simple example?

 

Get the item, do "item.setMetadata("KeyToLookFor", MetadataValue.asString("ThisIsTheValue");".
Then you can check whether the item has metadata by doing Item.hasMetadata("KeyToLookFor"), this will return true if the item has that metadata.

 

TGRHavoc He probably wants persistence if he's using lore.

@OP ProtocolLib, yes. There is a tutorial on the plugin's page.

 

OK. Is there any limitation of the value's length?

Also, I am gonna add data to ItemStack.. But seems only Item(Entity) has setMetadata() method.

What do you exactly want to save about the item?

 

I use it to save a String. Which should be invisible to players, and I need to get it on InventoryClickEvent.

Finally I got it working with ProtocolLib. But I wanna know if theres anyway to store String in ItemStack without using lore and ProtocolLib.

There are a few good suggestions in here, actually:

It seems like your best bets are what you are doing now, or using Attribute name tags as desht suggests in that thread.

You also technically don't need ProtocolLib, I guess you could implement the packet stuff yourself- not sure if you meant "Without ProtocolLib" or "Without packet hacks"

 

Thanks. I think that I should keep using ProtocolLib, because im not gonna update my plugin everytimes a new CB comes out.

(Outpost.) How can you connect your Minecraft account to bukkit forum?

Look under your account settings (click "Personal Details" on your user drop-down)

All the way at the bottom of the left sidebar is a "Manage Associations" area. You can link up your forum account with your DBO account and Minecraft account there (maybe some others, not sure?)
