Hello, I'm trying to remove the return item from BucketItem class. I want the item I have that uses it as a base to not return a bucket. I've been at my project for some time today, so I'm sure I'm missing something quite obvious. Anyone have any idea? Written below.

 

@Override

public getEmptySuccessItem(ItemStack itemStack, Player player) {

           return !player.getAbilities().instabuild ? new ItemStack(Items.AIR) : itemStack;

}

This is a basic java question, that usually don't get answered here.

You need to learn java (or one of the other jvm languages like koitlin or scala) to write mods effectively.

Buy a book or use an online course.

 

Anyway:

getEmptySuccessItem is a static helper method used by BucketItem.use()

static methods are not polymorphic, you cannot override them in subclasses.
