Solved Meta from Item in mainhand

Hello, just a question that's probably got an easy solution, for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Code:

player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName()

The code has no value. It simply does not return a value. I tried printing it with player.sendMessage, sout etc... No avail.

Code:

System.out.println(player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName());

That code does not print a line in the console, at all. Absolutely no trace of it whatsoever, and no errors.

I tried checking if the item had itemmeta and it did, and I also tried to use getLocalizedName() but that didn't work either.

Probably a more reasonable solution is how do I get the exact name of the item. Which method as extension of getItemMeta() is the correct value?

Any help is appreciated.

That's what my assumption was.

As a test line of code (just make everything as dumbed down as possible):

Code:

player.sendMessage(this.prefix + ChatColor.BLUE + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + builder + ChatColor.RESET + "" + ChatColor.BLUE + "added to " + player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName());

The builder string and added to get printed, but the display name does not.

And when using System.out, nothing is displayed in the console (not even null)

 

@timtower
Does work if I use an anvil, but that wouldn't explain why getLocalizedName doesn't work either.

 

@timtower
Okay - that works.

Now there's just the issue of what to set the display name to. Is there any way to get the name as displayed in Minecraft?

Could potentially get the enum value as a string and use replace with some word capitalization; for anyone looking at a solution to this.
