[1.7.10] NBT Compound tags?

[iWasHere]

I've looked absolutely everywhere and I can't find a single answer to my question: how do I add values to compound nbt tags? I can do regular nbt tags like SkullOwner and the such, but not anything under "display", like "Name" or "Lore". How can I access/write to these tags?

Thanks in advance.

Are you doing this on your own custom Item?

Nope, just on a standard ItemStack with a vanilla item (like a stick or something).

Try:

itemstack.stackTagCompound.getString("Lore");

Should work.

HI

 

not sure I understand your question.  Could you show your code which works for SkullOwner but not for Display or Name or Lore?

Ok, so this works:

 

        ItemStack head = new ItemStack(Items.skull,1,3);
        head.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
        head.stackTagCompound.setString("SkullOwner", "iWasHere");

 

BUT if I were to try and set the vanilla "name" tag, the name of the item stays the same in-game. It's because the Name and Lore tags are under the "display" tag, which is a compound tag. Because of that, I can't access the vanilla Name and Lore tags.

 

head.stackTagCompound.getCompoundTag("display").setString("Lore","It's special. Oh so special.");

 

The above doesn't work. I have no clue how to proceed.

 

EDIT: found out that there is a method for setting the display name of an itemstack. Still not sure about the lore though.

It appears Lore is a TagList itself, this is from taking a look at the vanilla code in ItemStack/getTooltip

 

            if (this.stackTagCompound.hasKey("display", 10))
            {
                NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound = this.stackTagCompound.getCompoundTag("display");

                if (nbttagcompound.hasKey("color", 3))
                {
                    if (p_82840_2_)
                    {
                        arraylist.add("Color: #" + Integer.toHexString(nbttagcompound.getInteger("color")).toUpperCase());
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        arraylist.add(EnumChatFormatting.ITALIC + StatCollector.translateToLocal("item.dyed"));
                    }
                }

                if (nbttagcompound.getTagId("Lore") == 9)
                {
                    NBTTagList nbttaglist1 = nbttagcompound.getTagList("Lore", ;

                    if (nbttaglist1.tagCount() > 0)
                    {
                        for (int j = 0; j < nbttaglist1.tagCount(); ++j)
                        {
                            arraylist.add(EnumChatFormatting.DARK_PURPLE + "" + EnumChatFormatting.ITALIC + nbttaglist1.getStringTagAt(j));
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Ah, thank you!
