From short item name to ItemStack?

Hello,

how can I convert short item name (Like MOSSY_COBBLESTO) to MOSSY_COBBLESTONE?
Is there any way to autocomplete the name?

I've searched the forum, yet I didn't find anything like this...

 

Code:

for (Material m : Material.values()) {
   if (m.name().startsWith(partialName)) {
          // found your material
          ........
   }
}

//do something if we got until here without finding anything

 

Also, if you're interested (and don't mind me doing a bit of plugging here), I've going to have material, material variant, and material list data functions in the PluginUtilities class of my Persistence plugin. You'll be able to look up a material (or variant, such as "red wool") by name or id/data combination.

All of the names are stored in sqllite, so you can even edit them- though they will be populated using the default Material.name() values, so by default it would work just as eisental describes above.

I don't have this in yet, but I need it for Spells- which I'll be integrating with Persistence as soon as I can pull myself away from NetherGate for a little bit.

 

Thank you
