Solved Trying to make a skull head the player's head

Code:java

ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL, 1);
                    SkullMeta skullMeta = skull.getItemMeta();
                    skullMeta.setDisplayName("" + players.getName());
                    skullMeta.setOwner("" + players.getName());
                    skull.setItemMeta(skullMeta);

skullMeta.getItemMeta() is highlighted and has errors. Why?

 

MayoDwarf
You are giving an ItemStack SkullMeta, and not ItemMeta.

 

Then the setOwner is undefined...

 

You need to cast it. Change
SkullMeta skullMeta = skull.getItemMeta();
to
SkullMeta skullMeta = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();

 

MayoDwarf

You can't set a ItemStack's meta to SkullMeta. You would have to define your itemstack as a skull.

At least, I think that is what is going on.

 

Still not working...

Code:java

 ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL, 1);
                    SkullMeta skullMeta = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
                    skull.setDurability((short) 3);
                    skullMeta.setDisplayName("" + players.getName());
                    skullMeta.setOwner("" + players.getName());
                    skull.setItemMeta(skullMeta);
 
                    skull.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.THORNS, 1);
                    inv.addItem(skull);

 

@Disturbed_Creator
Classes like SkullMeta, BookMeta, etc extends from the interface ItemMeta. Here more classes.

Oh ok, cool :>

 

make it SKULL_ITEM and why are you setting it owner and name to "" + players.getName() and not only players.getName()?

edit:
SkullMeta skulleMeta = (SkullMeta)skull.getItemMeta();

 

I made it Skull_Item and now no more errors but the player head will not be their skin's head. Why?

 

instead of using "" infront of their name

skullMeta.setOwner(<playername>); try that instead of "" infront, because here is code is use:



ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM);
String headName = player.getName();
skull.setDurability((short)3);
SkullMeta sm = (SkullMeta)skull.getItemMeta();
sm.setOwner(headName);

List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
lore.add("§cSlain by " + killer.getName());
sm.setLore(lore);
skull.setItemMeta(sm);

 

Still don't work bro xD :/ MercilessPvP

Maybe this will help:

Code:java

        for(Player players : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            if(!players.getName().equals(p.getName())) {
 
                    String pl = players.getName();
                    ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM);
                    skull.setDurability((short)3);
                    SkullMeta sm = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
                    sm.setOwner(pl);
                    sm.setDisplayName(ChatColor.AQUA + "" + pl);
                    skull.setItemMeta(sm);
                    skull.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.THORNS, 1);
 
                    inv.addItem(skull); }
            }

Yo why won't it work?

No idea, it works fine for me... Do you get any error/ do u get the item at all?

 

Whats the difference between ItemMeta & SkullMeta

 

No errors or anything. The item shows up in the inventory but as a regular steve head and not their skin's head... So weird lmao... Can anyone else figure this out? Thanks

 

The skin only appears when you place it or wear it, have u tried placing/wearing it?

 

Oh wait so you mean, it will not show their face in the player head? Only when you place it?

Yes, it appears as a default skin head, but after you place it or wear it it will appear as the skin of the owner

 

SkullMeta extends ItemMeta and adds more things like setting the persons face on it.

 

So there is no possible way for it to look like the player head just in the inventory right?

 

Not that i know, probably possible with a client mod

EDIT: Ok, thanks man.

 

They're the same thing except one deals with items and the other with skulls.
