	return par1ItemStack;
    }



	@Override
	public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack item)
	{
		return "item." + TYPES[item.getItemDamage()].toLowerCase() + "MagicCore";
	}


}

}


@Override
public Item setUnlocalizedName(String par1Str) {
	GameRegistry.registerItem(this, par1Str);
	return super.setUnlocalizedName(par1Str);

}

In your constructor add

this.setUnlocalizedName("yourItem");

which will result in

item.yourItem

.

but what if i want for every seprate item an separate name?

What do you mean with that? Do you different names for different metadata? Or something else?

yes different names for different metadata how is that done?

Hi

 

ItemCloth shows you what you need to do.

 

-TGG

@Override

public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack item) {

// System.out.println(getUnlocalizedName() + "." +

// names[getDamage(item)]);

return getUnlocalizedName() + "." + this.names[getDamage(item)];

}

 

you then have a String array called Names and in the getSubTypes just add each name into the array add the subtype names, then you can add them into your .lang file with the "item.unlocalizedname.subname.name"

 

I crossed out my error, I am working with another modder across the world, and he reformatted my code. which made me miss the fact that I just declare my string array at the start.

but if i do that do i have to SET the UnlocalizedName somewhere?

nevermind fixed it thanks Hugo-the-Dwarf
