Solved Code for giving a player an item with a custom name.

Hi,
I'm new to java and coding.
I'm basically hoping someone can tell me what the code would be to give someone an item with a custom name.

Basically what I want is when you run '/mb' it gives you paper with the name MagicBand.

Thanks for any help,
Dan

EDIT: Also, if you know how, what is the code to make it so they cannot drop that item.

 

People won't hand out code. We call that spoonfeeding and it doesn't help in the long run. You will need to use:
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemStack.html
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org...ml#addItem(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack...)
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerDropItemEvent.html

 

teej107 Oh okay then, worth a shot though.

 

dandwhit We are also more likely to give harder answers to work with if you show no effort. What have you tried?

 

teej107 Nothing yet.

Each itemstack has it's own ItemMeta. You can edit that ItemMeta, for example edit the name, lore, ect.
Make sure to re-aplly the ItemMeta after you are done editting it.

 

Learn. Java. Good. God. Do. It. It. Will. Help. So. Much.

Also, typing like that's hard.

Anyway, learn Java before Bukkit. I tried to learn Forge before Java and it was a horrible experience, so I practiced and played with Java and now I'm not horrid at it!

Okay that's a lie.
But seriously, learn Java.

Anyway, to make an item meta first make an ItemMeta from the ItemStack you want. If you want a hint, .getItemMeta(); is involved.

If you want to edit the name, you need to altar the display name with a setter. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to figure this out.

For lore, I usually make a new list that has the string containy thingamajiggadoodaa. Simply clear the list, and write it. Adding a comma outside the string will add a new line, I believe. Though I haven't tested so don'taskmeifthatstrue. I suppose you can also do just a new .add or something for a new line like me but eh.

There's a few other features that I don't care about.

Oh and make sure to set your stack's metadata to the new metadata thing when you're done okay bye.

 

Reddeh OracleTarget Thanks and I will. I have made basic plugins. But I mean basic, literally you just run a command and it gives you a message from the config file. Also now I think I know what went wrong when I made it earlier. (I deleted it all because it didn't work)

Reddeh OracleTarget teej107 Hi again, I seem to have another problem now. I've changed the plugin completely now and basically when you right click a brewing stand it opens a gui. The code is not complete but I'm getting an error at the bottom. It says "Unreachable Code". Could you tell me what is wrong with it?

Thanks again,
Dan

Wait never mind fixed it.

Alright!
So you gave your item a custom name and lore yeah?

If you want to make it so you can't drop that specific items then make sure you have an eventlistener. A simple google tells you how to do this.

Then in your eventlistener, wherever you set it to (Make sure it implements Listener) make an eventhandler running "PlayerDropItemEvent". Call this onPlayerDropItem or something idk. Set the event priority to highest as well because it's a topkek habit to do that for important stuff.

Then check event.getItemDrop() if it equals the item your thing is, then if it has lore and a name something like
if(event.getItemDrop().getItemMeta.getDisplayName() != null && event.getItemDrop().getItemMeta.getLore() != null) and then check if the name is the same as your custom item's name and then the lore is the same as your custom item's lore. Use the same method you used to give it lore to check it's lore, using a list. So like if it == loreList() or something and if it passes all those tests then set the event to cancelled. If it doesn't work SHOW ME YOUR MOVES code and I'll say what you did wrong c:
