Solved ItemMeta & ItemStacks

Hi bukkit users!
I'm posting here because I'm have some problems with 2 pieces of my code.

I'm using Bukkit 1.7.10.

The first one: (open) The first one: (close)

Code:

    ItemStack IMine = new ItemStack(Material.IRON_PICKAXE);
    ItemMeta meta = IMine.getItemMeta().setDisplayName("test");

I'm having an error on the .setDisplayName("test");
Type mismatch: cannot convert from void to ItemMeta

The second preblem: (open) The second preblem: (close)

first possibility:

Code:

    ItemStack rails = new ItemStack(Material.RAILS,64);

    [...] .setIngredient('R', rails);

I'm having the error on the .setIngredient('R', rails);
The method setIngredient(char, MaterialData) in the type ShapedRecipe is not applicable for the arguments (char, ItemStack)

So how should I make an ItemStack become MaterialData?


second possibility:

Code:

            .setIngredient('R', Material.RAILS, 64)

The method setIngredient(char, Material, int) from the type ShapedRecipe is deprecated.
Is this ok? :s

Thanks poeple.

 

1. ItemMeta#setDisplayName is void, it doesnt return anything.
2. Yes, its fine to use it even though it's deprecated.

 

Error one:
U assign a itemMeta class variable to a method that returns nothing... (Read about Java methods and objects)

Error two:
Deprivation doesn't mean it's not working, read documentarians to find out why it is deprecated also u can use setIngredietn('R',new ItemStack(type,amount));

 

Thanks for question 2. but how should I do it for the first one? I just want to create a new item and rename it...

By the way I'm having a problem with bukkit.

Does someone knows how to fix it? ^^' thanks!

@RainoBoy97 @mine-care thanks!

@mine-care actually this doesn't work:


.setIngredient('R', new ItemStack(Material.RAILS,64))

The method setIngredient(char, MaterialData) in the type ShapedRecipe is not applicable for the arguments (char, ItemStack)

 

Oh my fault it accepts MaterialData look it up on da web you'll find more =] I only played with crafting recipes once in my life ;3

 

@mine-care I don't see what I can do with it ><

 

@amatokus On ItemStacks (custom items), you can call the ItemStack#getData() method which returns the MaterialData for that specific ItemStack. This MaterialData can then be used in the constructor of a ShapedRecipe.

 

@leon3001 Thank you. But I still don't see how to rename my new item.

 

@amatokus ItemMeta#setDisplayName(String name)

 

ItemMeta ita = item.getitemMeta();
ita.setdisplayname("");
item.setitemmeta(ita);

@amatokus

 

@caderape It's what I'm doing! But it gives me an error, see post 1 problem1

 

It's not what you're doing in your post.
getitemMeta.setdisplayname() will do nothing if u dun assign after the meta to the item.
item.setitemmeta(ita);
@amatokus

 

@caderape I tried this:

Code:

    ItemStack IMine = new ItemStack(Material.IRON_PICKAXE,1);
    ItemMeta IMMeta = IMine.getItemMeta().setDisplayName("test");
    IMine.setItemMeta(IMMeta);

But I'm having errors... :

line2: Type mismatch: cannot convert from void to ItemMeta
line3:
Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error on token "IMMeta", VariableDeclaratorId expected after
this token
- Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)

:-/

Ok I just fixed it, I forgot to put it in the onEnable() ...

EDIT by Timtower: merged posts

 

Use this

Code:

ItemStack IMine = new ItemStack(Material.IRON_PICKAXE,1);
ItemMeta IMMeta = IMine.getItemMeta();
IMMeta.setDisplayName("test");
IMine.setItemMeta(IMMeta);
