[1.7.10] Need my item to get the players display name

[Elix_x]

Try manipulating directly: itemstack.stackTagCompound.set...

[Abastro]

@elix: That would be the same.

@HappyKiller101: Where the 'itemInteractionForEntity' get called?

[HappyKiller1O1]

That is an override of the item class one. It interacts with the player just fine but, the nbt tag seems to return null upon setting it for display.

[Abastro]

Ah I was blind..

I think isRemote check is not needed here, you would better manipulate NBT on both side.

[HappyKiller1O1]

Let me try that... I feel like it would crash considering NBT is run on server side?

[Abastro]

NBT works on both side, so it would not crash.

+ Your previous code should work, since itemstack got synced every tick.

    Does this print statement works?

System.out.println("ENTITY GOTTEN");

[HappyKiller1O1]

Yup! It get's the player and saves all the data no problem. But, when trying to access it for the information... nothing.

[Abastro]

It's very strange behavior..

Can your item be stacked?

[HappyKiller1O1]

No it cannot. Nor can it be repaired, enchanted and has durability.

[HappyKiller1O1]

So, the NBT tag returns null on client side I'm guessing? Anyway to prevent this?

[Abastro]

So it doesn't also contain the enchantment tag? It's impossible.

Are the enchantments of the item visible?

[HappyKiller1O1]

No no no. I don't want it to be enchant-able. It's not a tool just an item.

[Abastro]

Try enchanting the item with Unbreaking. (Any damageable item would be able to have Unbreaking enchantment)

[Elix_x]

Does writing to nbt happens on both sides (it includes checking if method is called on both sides!)? Be sure to check that.

[HappyKiller1O1]

@Abastro Why? I'm pretty sure either you or I are not getting something here.

@elix What do you mean?

[Abastro]

No, I'm sure that something is making NBT to null. So it is needed to confirm that and identify this symptom.

[HappyKiller1O1]

So, you want me to like add the enchantment in an anvil to the item and see if it stays?

[HappyKiller1O1]

So, when attempting to enchant it: it shows the glim on the item of it being enchanted but doesn't display it has Unbreaking 3 on the tooltip. What am I doing wrong?

[HappyKiller1O1]

So, I am guessing that maybe no nbt tag is set on the client side? I seem to only be setting the stack.stackTagCompound and it's strings to the server and not the client. Would there be a way to send a packet to update the clients nbt tag?

@elix What do you mean?

I mean that maybe code is run only on one side... Wait, i'll try to repeat what you are doing and see what and where will go wrong...

[HappyKiller1O1]

I'm trying a method right now to update the client. Hopefully it works.
