Inventory Help

Hello everyone
I am making a plugin and I can not figure out how to do this!
I made an ArrayList of Strings [Has to be Strings]
I want to convert them to ItemStacks so I can add them to the players inventory

-Gingerbreadman

 

Gingerbreadman,
What are these strings? Names of items?

 

Tecno_Wizard Yes names of items like dirt is DIRT

 

Can you be more descriptive? Also, an ArrayList does not have to be a string. Neither does an ItemStack name.
You can simply put "ArrayList<Double, Integer, Player, String, ItemStack, etc.> = new ArrayList<Double, Integer, Player, String, ItemStack, etc.>();"

 

I think you can use Material.getMaterial(String name)

 

tangster132 Cyber_Pigeon I know how it dosent need to be string
I am telling you now I made a config that stores strings for each player
and I want to be able to give them the items that are stored

 

So then you can just do

Code:java

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(materialName));

You just need to make sure that the Strings are formatted for Material (all caps and "_" for spaces)

 

Gingerbreadman, create a service provider with the method StringToMatrial. In the on enable, loop through each of the material.toString() and see if you get a match. If you do, add it to a itemstack arraylist

 

Or use Material#matchMaterial(String) ?

 

If I knew that was a thing I would have suggested that. LOL. Still add them to an ArrayList<Itemstack>
