[TechoMan]

Now , i want to make sword that have damage , and that damage is NBT sensetive ( like TC swords ) , soo i want to make custom damage.Beacos item dont have sort of "getDamageVSEntity" (or actyally have , but its deprecated) , so i'm using hitEntity .Now , how do i actually attack entity here?

[TechoMan]

did make it in my "own way":

    public static DamageSource getDamageSourceForEntity(EntityLivingBase ent) {
    	if (ent instanceof EntityPlayer) return DamageSource.causePlayerDamage((EntityPlayer)ent); else return DamageSource.causeMobDamage(ent);
    }

Why don't you make your own "ToolMaterial" using Forge's EnumHelper?
