Solved Item not being named when added to inventory

I'm trying to add a named poisonous potato to a player's inventory. Here's what I've got. As far as I know, and from what I've read in my searching, this should work.

Code:

ItemStack(Material.POISONOUS_POTATO, 1);
ItemMeta potatoMeta = potato.getItemMeta();  // Gets the item's metadata
potatoMeta.setDisplayName("Cheaty Potato");  // Changes the metadata
potato.setItemMeta(potatoMeta);  // Set the metadata back to the item

if(player.hasPermission("potato.add")) {
    player.getInventory().addItem(potato);  // Adds the item to the player's inventory
} else {
    return true;

When this is processed, it adds a poisonous potato to the player's inventory, but it's not renamed. It's just a normal poisonous potato.

What's going wrong? Thanks for the help!

 

try to remove the 1 from the Constructor of the ItemStack:

new ItemStack(Material.POISONOUS_POTATO);

 

The reason might be that you did not set the itemstack you've created via

Code:

ItemStack(Material.POISONOUS_POTATO, 1);

to the variable "potato".

Try this:

Code:

// Might be a more efficient way of checking permissions
// If the player does not have perms, it won't even create the itemstack
if(!player.hasPermission("potato.add"))
    return true;

ItemStack potato = new ItemStack(Material.POISONOUS_POTATO, 1); // Creates the itemstack "Potato"
ItemMeta potatoMeta = potato.getItemMeta();  // Gets the item's metadata
potatoMeta.setDisplayName("Cheaty Potato");  // Changes the metadata
potato.setItemMeta(potatoMeta);  // Set the metadata back to the item

player.getInventory().addItem(potato);  // Adds the item to the player's inventory

Alternatively, create a method that names items for you:

Code:

public static ItemStack nameItem(ItemStack item, String name) {
    ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
    meta.setDisplayName(name);
    item.setItemMeta(meta);
    return item;
}

Hope it helped.

 

1.I don‘t know where you define your potato object, but certainly not in the first line xD

org.bukkit.ItemStack potato = new ItemStack(Material.Poisonous_Potato)


Otherwise the code should be correct.

Sorry, for some reason I wasn't alerted until now that there were replies.

I did set the itemstack to the variable potato, but I think when copying over the code to my post it must have been deleted. Here's where I define it:

Code:

ItemStack potato = new ItemStack(Material.POISONOUS_POTATO, 1);

I removed the amount, but haven't had a chance to test it (my Minecraft won't launch!). Thanks for the help!

Edit: Removing the amount worked perfectly, thanks!
