Test if block id (item id) is valid?

Is there a function like isValidItemId() or something? if I want to let users to type in IDs manually, I have to test it otherwise the client goes down on null exception.

 

Just surround it with a try/catch block

 

Does not help. The problem is that I create a stack of items with an nonexistant ID and put it into a player's directory. Now the server does not care, why should it, that the player has 64 items of item ID 26, it's all perfectly valid. But when the client tries to assign an icon to it, it segfaults because it does not know what to do with item ID 26...

I can of course test the ID by hand, but that's really not a clean way.

 

No clue how to do it, then. I think there was a isValidItem function in hmod, we really need one in bukkit.

 

if( Material.getMaterial(id) == null ) {
<invalid id>
} else {
<valid id>
}

 

Yesss!

Thanks, man

 

And to test for a valid durability it would be:

Code:

if (Material.getMaterial(id) != null && 0 <= data && data <= Material.getMaterial(id).getMaxDurability()) {
<valid>
} else {
<invalid>
}

 

You do realize this thread is over 1 year old...
