Checking if a player is wearing leather boots.

I am trying to see if a player is wearing leather boots here is my code.

Code:java

if(player.getInventory().getBoots().getType().equals(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS))){
                player.sendMessage("leather");
 
 
            }

 

Code:

if (player.getInventory().getBoots().getType() == Material.LEATHER_BOOTS) {
// your code
}

 

Big_Mac_dev You are doing getType() on the boots, which returns Material, then you try to .equals() it with an ItemStack. Either both are ItemStack or both are Material.

A new ItemStack of 0 is not equal to what the player would be wearing, the player cannot wear stacks of zero, and you shouldn't (in this context) create new objects just for comparison operations, especially when better alternatives exist.

As well, enums and primitives should be compared with '==' whilst objects should be compared with the Object#equals method.
