How can I get a playerEntity in the #getContainerItem method?

[middangeardim]

I'm a beginner of Modding, and I'm really confusing about how to get a playerEntity

here is my code

PlayerEntity player = [???]

@Override public ItemStack getContainerItem(ItemStack itemStack) { itemStack.damageItem(1,player,null); return new ItemStack(Items.BUCKET); }

 

what should I enter in the [???]，I used to enter Minecraft.getInstance().player; but the game crushed because of null pointer

sorry about that.

I want to make a item which will damage when reciping

public class carrot_jam extends TieredItem {

    public carrot_jam() {
        super(ModItemTier.PUMPKINS,new Item.Properties().group(ModGroup.toolsGroup));
        this.getItemStackTileEntityRenderer()
    }
    

    @Override
    public boolean hasContainerItem(ItemStack itemStack) {
        return true;
    }
    
//here is the problem
    @Override
    public ItemStack getContainerItem(ItemStack itemStack) {
        itemStack.damageItem(1,player,null);
        return new ItemStack(Items.BUCKET);
    }

}

    }

}

 

 

So you want them to get damaged when they craft it ?

if so override

 public void onCraftedBy(ItemStack p_77622_1_, World p_77622_2_, PlayerEntity p_77622_3_) {
   }

This does not really make sense as you are damaging the carrot jam stack, and then replace it with a bucket in the crafting table.

well...I want to return a bucket after the carrot jam used up, need I add an "if" to check whether the item was used up? Which method should I use to check?

So you don't want to get the playerEntity?

So you want to use an Item(Carrot Jam) In a crafting recipe and then it loses 1 durability?

If so what is the crafting recipe?

and you would have to add the carrot jam to the players inventory because a vanilla crafting recipe can't return 2 items

for example,the recipe is carrot jam + bread = carrot jam bread

it will recipe a carrot jam bread and return me a carrot jam which reduce 1 reduablity

I need to use itemStack.damageItem(count,LivingEntity,null) to do it,but i have no idea how to get a playerEntity in this method

Or just call ItemStack#setDamage since ItemStack#damageItem is more likely to be used on other purposes.

        return new ItemStack(Items.BUCKET);
    }

}

 

 

You would want to set a default durability for the item(amount of uses) and also have you tried using null in the place of player you could try :

        @Override
        public ItemStack getContainerItem(ItemStack itemStack) {
            itemStack.getItem().damageItem(itemStack, 1, null,null)
            return new ItemStack(Items.BUCKET);
        }

Or try what poopoodice just suggested

well....it doesn't work,but I success finally using the setDamge(),here is the final code

    @Override
    public ItemStack getContainerItem(ItemStack itemStack) {

        if(itemStack.getDamage() < itemStack.getMaxDamage()){
            ItemStack item = itemStack.copy();
            item.setDamage(item.getDamage() + 1);
            return item;
        }

        return new ItemStack(Items.BUCKET);
    }

 

by the way, thank you very much, both you and poopoodice😀

This does, of course, ignore the Unbreaking enchantment if your item is allowed to have it.
