Find out if an item in hand is bonemeal?

How would I find out if the item in the player's hand is bonemeal?

 

Isn't that one of the dyes?

If so, I think that's hard/broken at the moment. Every time I try to access ItemStack.getData() (the way I'm assuming you would do this), I get null back.

So, you can't differentiate dyes or wools in the inventory, or on the ground (as an ItemStack).

I may be wrong, and I'd love to know if I am so I could make paint work with colored dye!

 

wow. that is sad

Well. to answer my own question: check the damage of the ink. make sure its itemId 351, 15 damage is bonemeal.

edit. for some reason I can't compare the byte...

 

Take a look at the Growbie Mod:
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-growbie-1-0-grow-flowers-with-bone-meal-144.2262/

There it's done like this:

Code:

ItemStack holding = player.getItemInHand();

if ( holding.getType() == Material.INK_SACK
&& holding.getDamage() == 15 ) // WHITE INK damage value, hard-coded for your pleasure
{...}

Edit: Ok, a few moments too late...

 

lol. for some reason, that just doesn't work for me

edit: for some reason it wants to work now. but growbie did exactly what I was doing. so, no longer need to do that.
