I have a couple of custom enchants, and I have the effects for when my item is enchanted. Everything works fine in that regard.

My problem is that my enchants are being applied to vanilla items.

Currently, my custom item extends ItemBow, thus my enchants use the EnumEnchantmentType.BOW.

 

I have been looking around for a way to prevent my enchants from appearing on vanilla items, and/or for a way to specify a custom enchant type, but most tutorials/requests for help only go into adding effects to vanilla stuff (the opposite of what I want)

 

I have tried this, on suggestion from a search result:

 

public boolean canApply(ItemStack stack) {
if (stack.getItem() instanceof DTPotshot) {
	return true;
} else {
	return false;
}
}

 

And:

public boolean canApply(ItemStack stack) {
if (stack.getItem() == DTItems.potShot) {
	return true;
} else {
	return false;
}
}

 

 

But this seems do have done utterly nothing (that I can see).

 

My question is; how can I set a custom Enchant Type (if possible), or how can I prevent my enchants on going on vanilla items?

Idea below is one i just though of, isn't written anywhere and may cause problems:

You can use

EnumHelper

to create new

EnumEnchantmentType

, and then use it in your enchantments and item.

Enchantment#canApply

is only used by the

/enchant

command and the Anvil and falls back to

Enchantment#canApplyAtEnchantingTable

.

Enchantment#canApplyAtEnchantingTable

is used by the Enchanting Table and the

EnchantmentHelper.addRandomEnchantment

method (used by mobs and dungeon/fishing loot).

 

Wow, that did the trick. Thanks.

Funny thing is, I looked at that earlier today and must have just completely glanced over it.
