Solved Dyed Leather Armor

Hello, I was wondering how I can spawn a mob with dyed armor. Thanks!

 

What have you tried so far?

 

Code:

Code:

Player p = (Player) sender;
                Location loc = p.getLocation();
                LivingEntity e = (LivingEntity) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.ZOMBIE);
                if (e.getType() == EntityType.ZOMBIE) {
                    e.getEquipment().setItemInHand(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD));
                    e.getEquipment().setBoots(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS));
                }

Note that I want Leather boots to be dyed. @teej107

 

@Higgsboson728 Get the leather armor's ItemMeta and cast it to LeatherArmorMeta.

 

@teej107 So do I need to add .setColor() after my ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS) or am I still missing something?

or

ItemStack.getItemMeta();

 

@teej107
@Higgsboson728 and then set the color you want with the LeatherArmorMeta

 

@tkuiyeager1 @teej107 How do I do that? (I googled it but it didn't help me)

@Higgsboson728 @tkuiyeager1 I thought you were the same person for a second because of your avatar

Then call setColor

 

How should I "cast" it?

So how do you give the colored armor to a mob? Do you create new variables for each armor part? (boots, chestplate, etc)

like this

Code:

Player p = (Player) sender;
                Location loc = p.getLocation();
                LivingEntity e = (LivingEntity) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.ZOMBIE);
                if (e.getType() == EntityType.ZOMBIE) {
                    ItemStack boots = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS);
                    LeatherArmorMeta meta = (LeatherArmorMeta) boots.getItemMeta();
                    meta.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                      boots.setItemMeta(meta);
                    ItemStack leggings = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_LEGGINGS);
                    LeatherArmorMeta meta1 = (LeatherArmorMeta) leggings.getItemMeta();
                    meta1.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                      leggings.setItemMeta(meta1);
                e.getEquipment().setItemInHand(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD));
                e.getEquipment().setBoots((ItemStack) meta);
                }

 

Bump

 

@Higgsboson728
Yeah just create one LeatherArmorMeta, and one ItemStack for each part of armor. You can re-use the Meta for each piece since you're only changing the colour.

 

Thanks. I got it now.

Mark the thread as solved then please
