How to add an item to a players' inventory with a colored name

Hi! I messing around with .addItem() and couldn't find out how to add a colored name to an item. If you know how to add an item to a players' inventory with a colored name please comment below.

Thank you!

 

@lonemineah_ Create an itemstack, get the item meta, set the display name to whatever you want (colours are allowed) set the item meta, give them that item.

How would I add an item to a certain inventory slot?

 

You can use the slot id's here: http://wiki.vg/images/1/13/Inventory-slots.png
You can also use the itemInHand() for their current slot they are "selected" on

p.getInventory().setItemInHand(stack); //SETS the item stack. Replaces it if there is an item
p.getInventory().setItem(id, stack); //sets the item stack for the slot id

be sure to use getItemInHand() != null or getItem(slotID) != null first to make sure you dont remove their item they currently have if that is what your doing

That link are network slots, not inventory slots.

 

Try that snippet of code:

Code:

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.AIR);
ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
meta.setDisplayName("§c§lColored Name");
item.setItemMeta(meta);
player.getInventory().addItem(item);

I'm not at home, so i can't test it now, but it should work.
