^That's my code for item. I want it to not destroy when used in crafting recipe. if I set container item like I have, it always gives me the item with metadata 0 while crafting. how can I fix this?

 

Override

Item#getContainerItem(ItemStack)

to return the appropriate

ItemStack

(just return the argument if the item should remain unchanged) instead of calling

Item#setContainerItem

.

 

By the way, use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without the spaces) for code. You can also use a site like Gist or Pastebin to post code with syntax highlighting.

Thanks for reply. I think that should work. How didn't I think about that? I'll post the results later.

It Worked! Thanks again
