[Resource] (Full Bar) Red & Orange Item Durability

Hey, you!
Ever wanted to make an item durability bar full red or orange? Well, now you can!

Here's an example:


Here's the function:

Code:java

public ItemStack ColouredDura(ItemStack a, boolean b){
    a.setDurability((short) (b ? 1000 : Material.getMaterial(a.getTypeId()).getMaxDurability()*2));
    return a;
}

What this does it sets the item's durability to a negative value. If b is true, we will colour the item's durability red; if it's not, we will make it orange.

I would just like to say that this is only for looks; the item will break after the player uses the item.

 

Pretty cool workaround! Just don't know where it would be useful, maybe in menus or GUIs of some kind?

 

I'm now going to use it for my server

 

how are you planning to use this? just out of curiosity xD

maybe a way of toggling a players difficulty? xD like red for pvp + mobs, orange for mobs and green for no mobs/pvp. other than that im struggling to think of uses, but you never know maybe ill come up with some obscure thing that this will be perfect for

 

I am a dev on a Bungee server; using it for server selection Anyway, I might make a method to allow this item to have durability while having the full red bar.

 

Pretty nifty

 

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks!
