[1.8] Item damage.

[Ernio]

This is like really simple math, but it's still bothering me (and I need some sleep).

 

Is it just me or setting items max durability to X given you X+1 uses?

I mean - looking at sword - for iron it has 250 "uses" written in material enum.

 

Items start with 0. Each hit gives +1 till it reaches 250. Items DON'T break at >= but on >, so basically after 250 uses there is still one to go.

On in-game display 0 is 250/250, while 250 is 0/250.

 

Now - I am not dumb, but the logic here seems awfully annoying. It's like someone couldn't decide if to go with > and +1 or >= and just wrote something.

maxUses = 250 is actually 251.

 

Should this be considered as bug (bad design?)?

This is correct. When you use a mod that shows the durability of a weapon, you will see that there is a '0' use. It's always been this way.

 

If you want a tool to have 9000 uses, give it 8999 uses.

Me: Let's give my item 100 uses with nice 100/100 (percentage-like display). What do you say Vanilla?

Vanilla: Ye, sure bro, why not!

 

 

This is the kind of shit I have to go through. Why?!

Hi

Kind of weird in design, like for example arrays are zero-based. Why did the Minecraft developers do that is beyond me!
