[SOLVED]1.6.4 setContainerItem help

[Jacknoshima]

Hey, so, I'm making a knife to work with other items but I want it returned when used in a crafting recipe. I set the "setContainerItem" back to itself but it's still disappearing. From what I've looked up, I can't seem to find any reason why that's happening.

 

this is the initialisation

 

knife = new Item(ConfigurationFile.knifeID).setUnlocalizedName("knife").setCreativeTab(ServerModMain.serverTab).setContainerItem(knife).setTextureName("servermod:knife");

 

it works when I set the container item to other things but it doesn't work when I set it to itself... Is it just not possible to do or am I missing something?

Nevermind, got it
