Spawning an Item

I recently made a method to spawn an item at the location.

Code:java

 public static void speedPowerupSpawn() {
for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
World world = p.getWorld();
 
World w = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld(plugin.getConfig().getString("Powerup.world"));
double x = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("Powerup.x");
double y = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("Powerup.y");
double z = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("Powerup.z");
Location l = new Location(w, x, y, z);
 
world.dropItem(l, new ItemStack(Material.SUGAR));
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(prefix + ChatColor.YELLOW + " The " + ChatColor.GREEN + "" + ChatColor.WHITE + "SPEED" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " powerup has spawned!");
}
}

It works, but the item is kind of "thrown" in any direction.

In the picture, the green is where I have the location set. Is there a way for the item to only stay where the location is set?

 

This should work:

Code:

Item item = world.dropItem(l, new ItemStack(Material.SUGAR));
item.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));

Doesn't seem to work.

Hmm. You could try manually setting its location after that?

Code:

item.setLocation(l);

 

This probably has nothing to do with it going in random directions but you are spawning a powerup for each online player and I'm not sure if you want that. Also, you already have World world = p.getWorld(); I don't think you need world w = Bukkit.get...

Fixed the World thing.

Current Code:

Code:java

public static void speedPowerupSpawn() {
for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
 
World w = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld(plugin.getConfig().getString("Powerup.world"));
double x = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("Powerup.x");
double y = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("Powerup.y");
double z = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("Powerup.z");
final Location l = new Location(w, x, y, z);
 
final Item item = w.dropItem(l, new ItemStack(Material.SUGAR));
item.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
item.teleport(l);
p.sendMessage(prefix + ChatColor.YELLOW + " The " + ChatColor.GREEN + "" + ChatColor.WHITE + "SPEED" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " powerup has spawned!");
}
}

Not to sure why it is being moved so far, but try dropItemNaturally() instead of dropItem(). Not sure it will work but worth a shot

 

Actually don't do that. dropItemNaturally does what OP doesn't want the item to do. Jaaakee224

Edit: Explanation: dropItemNaturally spawns it with a random offset while dropItem should spawn it at a set location. No need to use vectors. Read the docs for more info. It worked perfectly fine for me.

The item is thrown, and after like 1-2 seconds it moves again.

 

That's a client-side only glitch where it ends up in a different location than where it actually should be. You can't cancel that movement by setting the velocity to straight up 0. It's a teleportation, not a movement.

Is there a way to fix this? Can I just spawn the item riding a wither skull?

 

Jaaakee224 I recently tested this and it works perfectly fine for me. Also to note, when i said client-side I was implying that this only happens for some people.

As for the wither skull, I guess it'll work but always be sure to kill the skull after the item hits the ground

Code:java

item.isOnGround();
