how to use the "private boolean alwaysEdible;"

[Achilleus]

I can't figure out where exactly to put this in my food class file or what parameters. Could someone give an example of how to do it? I also need to change the itemUseDuration

As the field is private, and you are probably hopefully inheriting from ItemFood rather than replacing it (because that would be silly) or editing it (also silly), you will want to use the setter method

setAlwaysEdible

.

 

I suppose you just either chain it in your initialisation, or call it in your constructor. As it doesn't take any arguments (the method simply sets the private field to

true

), it is simply a matter of calling it:

 

setAlwaysEdible();

 

As for changing the item use duration (I presume you want to change the time it takes to consume), simply

@Override

the

getMaxItemUseDuration

:

 

@Override
public int getMaxItemUseDuration(ItemStack itemStack) {
    return 16;
}

 

This should make it consumable in half the time other consumables are consumed in the game.

Thank you! I'm still learning java but have backgrounds with C#, PHP, and Python so some of it I understand but it's been a while
