Setting Lore of Item Already In Inventory

I'm using this, but it is not working.

Code:

                        List<String> lore = event.getItemDrop().getItemStack().getItemMeta().getLore();
                        lore.add(ChatColor.RESET + "RELOADING");
                        event.getItemDrop().getItemStack().getItemMeta().setLore(lore);

I'm running a debug message and it should pass this code.

This is pieces from my PlayerDropItemEvent. Could it be the reason that I am cancelling the event?

 

You have to call setItemMeta after you change the ItemMeta data. You might want to break it up into more than one line

 

That^
Use a itemstack value of the dropped itemstack and get the meta and then set the lore, when done use itemstack.setitemmeta(item meta)
