Hello, I'm currently working on a mod and I'm using a configuration field to determine the durability of an item. But I don't understand why when I change the config in the .toml file, the durability of the item stay at the default value.

Here is how I set the durability (MOB_SHARD_DURABILITY) : 

/**
 * Manager for the mod items
 */
public class ItemManager {

    public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, PerfectMobFarm.MODID);

  	// Use of CommonConfig
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> MOB_SHARD = ITEMS.register("mob_shard",
            () -> new MobShard(new Item.Properties().tab(PerfectMobFarm.PERFECT_MOB_FARM_TAB), CommonConfigs.MOB_SHARD_DURABILITY.get()));

    public static void register(IEventBus eventBus) {
        ITEMS.register(eventBus);
    }
}

/////////////////
// Item class //
////////////////
public MobShard(Properties pProperties, int pDurability) 
{
        this(pProperties.durability(pDurability));
}

 

Of course I have others config fields and they work properly.

Those item registrations only happen at startup. Your durability is fixed then.

If you want something more dynamic you would need to do something like this in your item class:

Quote

    @Override 

     public int getMaxDamage(ItemStack stack)
    {
        return fromTheConfiguration();
    }
 

 

Thanks for your answers. I managed to use a server config and to override the function 

@Override
    public int getMaxDamage(ItemStack stack) {
        return ServerConfigs.MOB_SHARD_DURABILITY.get();
    }

But now, the durability bar seems to be hidden since I removed the .durability(int) in the properties. How can I show it again ?

 

EDIT :

I found the solution to display it again. I just had to use the .durability(int) function on the properties, and the value taken for the durability is the one that come from the configs.
