[Solved] 1.10.2 Randomised Tool Material

[PegBeard]

Simple question, is it possible to give an item a random tool material when it is created?

I have tried a few things, but nothing fruitful.

You will have to write the data the tool material stores to nbt and read the data from nbt in the methods that call for them.

Should be able to. I did this in 1.7.10 and as long as you override the proper methods you can read the values from NBT and figure it out from there.

 

getMaxDamage

is how much durability the item has (based on material)

getDigSpeed

is how fast the material affects block breaking

getIsRepairable

handles repair in the anvil (e.g. if you want to allow iron ingots to repair iron items)

getAttributeModifiers

to modify item damage based on material

addInformation

and/or

getItemStackDisplayName

if you want to have a tooltip saying what the item's material is

 

Note: method signatures have likely changed since 1.7.10, but you can see how I handled this stuff in my Artifacts mod:

Thanks for the advice. I had been trying to do something rather ghetto. Those methods look much more sensible.
