material problem

hey guys i have a problem with materials i want to give my players for example 5 soups but i want to use Material.getMaterial("282") because i prefer item ids instead of using material.mushroom_soup, 5 but i cant set the amount
i tried lots of things like 282, 5 but nothing worked

 

...edit the amount of the ItemStack you're giving to the players? The amount is not related to the Material.

 

getItemId

 

didn't work

 

Use:

Code:

player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(id ItemID), int amount));

So in your case it's:

Code:

player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(282), 5));

But it's deprecated and I highly recommend you to use item names. It's a lot easier and ID's will vanish soon.

 

yeah but i want to let users edit the plugin via config and its harder to write MUSSROOM_SOUP than writing 282

 

@Zekrom2802 tried
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("soup")){
player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial("282"), 5));
}

and when i perform /soup ingame and internal error occures . any idea?

 

Remove the quotes.

But like
@timtower and @Zekrom2802 said, you shouldn't be using item ids. Make the server owners type out the material.

 

@mihalaras11 Use Material#matchMaterial and make everyone happy.
