PlayerDropItemEvent Help

Hello,

I have tried several ways to try make it possible that players can't drop a specify item with a custom name.

Thanks for reading

 

@on PlayerDropItem

if item.getMeta().hasDisplayName() && displayname.equals ignore case (<your display name>) && item.getType() == <your material>

I recommend you using lore, lore isn't editable by players

Metadata is better if you don't need it to be visible to players and you want an easy time.

 

I don't know how to use Metadata, do you have a nice/simple tutorial? I never needed it

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have even said that. MetaData is used for players and other entities mostly, which is what I thought the OP wanted. But, items do not have the metadata values like players do. My apologies.

Metadata is actually quite effective though:
Not quite a tutorial but: https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/how-to-use-player-setmetadata.141105/
Pretty old but: https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/metadata-q-a-i-wrote-the-metadata-api-ama.68447/
I personally don't like the plugin tutorial on MetaData, but here you go: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial#Why_to_use_Metadata

 

Thanks, I wanted to know that... Still, very few tutorials, isn't it? Just wikipedia's and 1-2 from developers...

Well, thank you (;

For OP I think the best way would to with lore editing anyway...
