[1.7.10] Best Way to Identify an Item

[SHiLLySiT]

I want to search through the players inventory to check and see if any of the items match a specified string which is defined in an XML. I've found getUnlocalizedName(), however the string is often quite long. Is there anything more concise? I've seen websites that list ids similar to this website: http://minecraft-ids.grahamedgecombe.com/

I'd love to upgrade but we must be able to support MinecraftEDU and the current stable version is forked from 1.7.10.

 

In what class is getRegistryName() located? It doesn't seem to be on Item or ItemStack.
