Annnd, back again with an Item velocity question.

Im attempting to spawn an item on block break to make wheat have a chance to double drop at certain times of the day..

Ive gotten all that worked out, the one thing I wanted to add was some flair to the wheat. but cant seem to get it working once I drop the item.

instead of it just dropping boringly down like the other wheat, give it a visual cue you got extra drops, having it 'pop' up using a low velocity setting on the Y axis 2-3 blocks..

but it seems for the life of me I cant figure out how to apply a velocity to an Item or ItemStack.
No matter what I try I get "velocity is undefined for object Item/ItemStack.

anyone know how this could be done?

 

item.setVelocity()?

 

I tried that by dropping them item, assigned the Item on the ground to "item" and I get:
"The method setVelocity is undefined for the type Item"

 

I guess you're importing net.minecraft.server.Item instead of org.bukkit.entity.Item?

 

ahhh....yes I am!
"import net.minecraft.server.Item;"

sometimes I want to hit myself in the face with a hammer for missing the simple things...

perhaps I was wrong..well on the import type I know i was..
but don't think I'm getting the item to spawn correctly for use with vel...

I resorted to just dropping it with
"b.getWorld().dropItem(loc, new ItemStack(Material.WHEAT, 1));'
to get it to actually drop all the time

but then I cant call that with set velocity.
How would I define 'wheat' as an item, drop it, AND add velocity it?

cant seem to find an example of the right way to define a 'Item item = (something);"

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

I think its Item item = b.getWorld().dropItem(loc, new ItemStack(Material.WHEAT, 1)); because that sounds logical to my

 

Thanks again ferry!
I'm going to have to start paying you a salary I think, you spend 1/2 your day replying to my inane questions on here

edit: that works perfectly! with randoms for vel it looks like the normal wheat drop but with a bit more "omph" to it shooting out.
