How do I compare the item in my hand with the item I write in.

[Raymond88]

Hello forum members.

I need something like that:

ItemStack mainHandItem = player.getHeldItem(Hand.MAIN_HAND);
	if(mainHandItem == myModItem) {
     // some code 
    }

I also tried

ItemStack mainHandItem = player.getHeldItem(Hand.MAIN_HAND);
MyModItem myModItem = new MyModItem();
	if(mainHandItem.getItem() == MyModItem.getItem())

But it doesn't work.

Minecraft version 1.16.5

Please learn basic Java, specifically what the == operator does.

As for your 2nd code example, you need to use the Item instance you registered. Do not create new item instances at random points, it must be done exclusively at startup using the registry event.

Thanks, I forgot about the fact that it needs to be compared through .equals().
