How to get the attack damage of an item

How do i get the attack damage of an item that an entity or player is holding?

 

I think it's

Code:java

(your ItemStack).getDurability();

 

@PDKnight Thanks, but thats getting its usage, i'm talking about its physical damage it does to entites

 

Well, I forgot I'll make code for you soon, just wait...

 

@PDKnight Oh wow thank you

 

Finally, here's the code:

Code:java

public int getItemDamageValue(ItemStack is, Player damaged) {
    double damageValue = 0;
    if(is != null) {
        if (is.getType() == Material.AIR) {
            damageValue = 0;
        } else if (is.getType() == Material.WOOD_SWORD) {
            damageValue = 5;
        } else if (is.getType() == Material.STONE_SWORD) {
            damageValue = 6;
        } else if (is.getType() == Material.IRON_SWORD) {
            damageValue = 7;
        } else if (is.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_SWORD) {
            damageValue = 8;
        } else {
            damageValue = 1; // other blocks & items
        }
    }
 
    if(damaged != null) {
        Inventory i = damaged.getInventory();
        Material helmet = i.getItem(39).getType();
        Material chestplate = i.getItem(40).getType();
        Material leggings = i.getItem(41).getType();
        Material boots = i.getItem(42).getType();
        if (helmet == Material.LEATHER_HELMET) 
        damageValue -= (0.5 / 1.5); 
            // value shown at bar above the health bar / 1.5
        else if (helmet == Material.CHAINMAIL_HELMET
                || helmet == Material.IRON_HELMET
                || helmet == Material.DIAMOND_HELMET
                || helmet == Material.GOLD_HELMET) 
            damageValue -= (1 / 1.5);
 
        if (chestplate == Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE) 
            damageValue -= (1.5 / 1.5);
        else if (chestplate == Material.CHAINMAIL_CHESTPLATE
                || chestplate == Material.GOLD_CHESTPLATE) 
            damageValue -= (2.5 / 1.5);
        else if (chestplate == Material.IRON_CHESTPLATE)
            damageValue -= (3 / 1.5);
        else if (chestplate == Material.DIAMOND_CHESTPLATE)
            damageValue -= (4 / 1.5);
 
        if (leggings == Material.LEATHER_LEGGINGS) 
            damageValue -= (1 / 1.5);
        else if (leggings == Material.GOLD_LEGGINGS) 
            damageValue -= (1.5 / 1.5);
        else if (leggings == Material.GOLD_LEGGINGS) 
            damageValue -= (1.5 / 1.5);
        else if (leggings == Material.GOLD_LEGGINGS) 
            damageValue -= (1.5 / 1.5);
        else if (leggings == Material.CHAINMAIL_LEGGINGS) 
            damageValue -= (2 / 1.5);
        else if (leggings == Material.IRON_LEGGINGS) 
            damageValue -= (2.5 / 1.5);
        else if (leggings == Material.DIAMOND_LEGGINGS) 
            damageValue -= (3 / 1.5);
 
        if (boots == Material.LEATHER_BOOTS
                || boots == Material.GOLD_BOOTS
                || boots == Material.CHAINMAIL_BOOTS) 
            damageValue -= (0.5 / 1.5);
        else if (boots == Material.IRON_BOOTS)
            damageValue -= (1 / 1.5);
        else if (boots == Material.DIAMOND_BOOTS)
            damageValue -= (1.5 / 1.5);
 
    }
    return (int) Math.round(damageValue);
}

Anyway, I didn't test bow, because I couldn't shot myself, but everything's here

Usage:

Code:java

ItemStack item = somePlayer.getInventory().getItemInHand();
int damage = getItemDamageValue(item, somePlayer);

• damage 1 means half a heart, damage 2 one heart etc...

somePlayer should be the damaged player, the function checks for his armor (so when somebody will hit him the item will have less damage if he has armor on), if you don't want to use this value, just write

Code:java

ItemStack item = somePlayer.getInventory().getItemInHand();
int damage = getItemDamageValue(item);

I didn't test it yet, but it should work Hope this helps
