Sending Killers Sword ToolTip

So I have been working with JSON messages lately and wanted to how a player that was killed see what the other players sword was. I have gotten to the point where I need to get the killers swords tooltip so I can set that as the JSON message in chat. Anyone know how to get the tooltip for tools in a players inventory? This is what I mean for those who don't understand.


So here is my code so far so if anyone can help, that would be appreciated!

PHP:

@EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        Player p = (Player)e.getEntity();
        Player killer = (Player)p.getKiller();
       
        if(p.getKiller() instanceof Player) {
            if(p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD) ||
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.DIAMOND_AXE) ||
                   
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.IRON_SWORD) ||
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.IRON_AXE) ||
                   
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.STONE_SWORD) ||
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.STONE_AXE) ||
                   
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.WOOD_SWORD) ||
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.WOOD_AXE) ||
                   
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.GOLD_SWORD) ||
                    p.getKiller().getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.GOLD_AXE)) {
                   
            String string = killer.getItemInHand().getType().toString().toLowerCase().replaceAll("_", " ");
            net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R1.ItemStack nms = CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(new ItemStack(p.getKiller().getItemInHand().getType()));
            String name = nms.getName();   
           
            for(Player pp : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            JSONChatMessage message = new JSONChatMessage(p.getName() + " was slain by " + killer.getName() + " using a ", JSONChatColor.WHITE, null);
            JSONChatExtra extra = new JSONChatExtra(" [" + Utils.capitalize(string) + "]", JSONChatColor.AQUA);
            extra.setHoverEvent(JSONChatHoverEventType.SHOW_TEXT, name);
            message.addExtra(extra);
            message.sendToPlayer(pp);
            e.setDeathMessage(null);
            }
        } else {
            return;
            }
        }
    }

Mostly, it comes in client side. Its not really there.

I've seen a couple other servers do it, is that because they did it themselves? Basically copying what the tooltip should be? I tried doing that but I guess you can't use \n to make a new line. Also I would have to get the enchantments and list them.

• You can use the ItemMeta to get the display name.
• Also in this case JSON chat is a bit overkill, since you only use ChatColors. You should just set the death message in the event.
• Check if(killer != null) instead of the instanceof, though it seems to have the same effect, the comparison is a bit more formal
• Instead of checking every single type manually, what about an EnumSet:
  Code:java

  Set<Material> types = EnumSet.of(Material.DIAMOND_AXE, ...etc);
  ...
  if(player.getItemInHand() != null && types.contains(player.getItemInHand().getType()))
   

• Also, as shown above, make sure that getItemInHand() doesn't return null.
• event.getEntity(), despite the horrible name, always returns a Player object in PlayerDeathEvent, no need to cast. Same goes for getKiller().
• Javadocs: ItemStack and ItemMeta should contain enough information for you to filter the name. Sidenote: the display name will be null if not set, be aware.

Thats why you use setLore and setDisplayName
