Solved Named Item

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code, I want to give the player an item with a custom name.

Code:java

public ItemStack getrod() {
ItemStack rod = new ItemStack(Material.BLAZE_ROD);
ItemMeta meta = rod.getItemMeta();
meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.AQUA + "Selection stick.");
rod.setItemMeta(meta);
return rod;
}
 
// Then later in my code I use
player.getInventory().addItem(getrod());

It adds the item but it doesnt have the custom name.
Anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

 

what hapens instead of giving them item when the code runs?

 

Is there any error exceptions in console and how are you adding this, when the player joins or through another event?

 

Check that your events are being registered, if you are even using events.

There is nothing else in the method, I usually just give them a plain blaze rod, but I want to make it named.

The item is added when they type a command.

The event works just fine, like I said, it successfully gives them the item, but it is not named.

 

Is there any errors in console when the command is give?

 

Instead of having this method for only one itemstack, perhaps you should use something like this

Code:java

 
public ItemStack createItem(Material mat, int num, String name){
ItemStack i = new ItemStack(mat, num);
ItemMeta im = i.getItemMeta();
im.setDisplayName(name);
 
i.setItemMeta(im);
 
return i;
}
 

then in your event you can do something like

Code:java

 
player.getInventory().addItem(createItem(Material.YOURMATERIAL, AMOUNT OF ITEM, NAME OF ITEM));

So, it seemed that solving the problem was simple.
I changed this line.

Code:java

meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.AQUA + "Selection stick");

To this

Code:java

String n = ChatColor.AQUA + "Selection Stick";
meta.setDisplayName(n);

 

Still weird, but at least you got it to work.
