I'm trying to get an item from a stack but with the metadata.

If i do this:

ItemStack stack= new ItemStack(ModBlocks.bricksstairwhite,1,3);
Item item= stack.getItem();

 

It does not give me the item with metadata 3, but instead give me always the 0.

Here an example why i need this:

@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	ItemStack stack= new ItemStack(ModBlocks.bricksstairwhite,1,3);
	Item item= stack.getItem();

	return item;
}

And here another example why i need this:

	List<IRecipe> recipes = CraftingManager.getInstance().getRecipeList();
    	Iterator<IRecipe> Leash = recipes.iterator();
    			         
    		while (Leash.hasNext()) {
    			ItemStack is = Leash.next().getRecipeOutput();
    			
    			if (is != null && is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.SANDSTONE_STAIRS))
    				Leash.remove();
    			if (is != null && is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.RED_SANDSTONE_STAIRS))
    				Leash.remove();
    			if (is != null && is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.BRICK_BLOCK))
    				Leash.remove();
    			if (is != null && is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.STONEBRICK))
    				Leash.remove();
    			if (is != null && is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.STONE_BRICK_STAIRS))
    				Leash.remove();
    			ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Blocks.STONE_SLAB,1,5);
    			Item item = stack.getItem();
    			if (is != null && is.getItem() == item){
    				Leash.remove();
    			}
    		};

I want in the recipe remover only removing that subblock, but it removes them all.

So how do i get the right item for it?

if (is != null && is.getItem() == Items.APPLE && is.getMetadata() == 1) {
     // Do stuff
}

I love how this code:

    			ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Blocks.STONE_SLAB,1,5);
    			Item item = stack.getItem();
    			if (is != null && is.getItem() == item){
    				Leash.remove();
    			}

Sets up a variant item stack, then ignores the shit out of it.

 

Also, dude, seriously, wrap all of this in a single if(is != null) check. Simplify your life.

if (is != null && is.getItem() == Items.APPLE && is.getMetadata() == 1) {
     // Do stuff
}

 

Oh right, it looks like i did it wrong before.

You mean because i make variables for it while it isn't needed? I know this, i change it later. I do it for testing purpose only.

 

Also for the creative tabs i still can't get it working.

 

This is what i have now:

public class TemStairsTab extends CreativeTabs {

public TemStairsTab(String label) {
	super(label);
	//this.setBackgroundImageName("teleport.png");
}
@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	ItemStack stack= new ItemStack(ModBlocks.bricksstairwhite);
	Item item = stack.getItem();
	return item;
}
@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public int getIconItemDamage(){	
        return 3;
    }
}

I looked into the creativetabs class and found this getIconItemDamage() method wich i hoped it would do what i needed, but insetad i now have a black/purple square icon in my creative tab.

I made it cleaner now (i think  )

 

	List<IRecipe> recipes = CraftingManager.getInstance().getRecipeList();
    	Iterator<IRecipe> Leash = recipes.iterator();
    			         
    		while (Leash.hasNext()) {
    			ItemStack is = Leash.next().getRecipeOutput();
    			if (is !=null){
    				if (is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.SANDSTONE_STAIRS))
    					Leash.remove();
    				if (is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.RED_SANDSTONE_STAIRS))
    					Leash.remove();
    				if (is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.BRICK_BLOCK))
    					Leash.remove();
    				if (is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.STONEBRICK))
    					Leash.remove();
    				if (is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.STONE_BRICK_STAIRS))
    					Leash.remove();
    				if (is.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.STONE_SLAB) && is.getMetadata()==5){
    					Leash.remove();
    				}
    			}
    		};

 

and:

public class TemStairsTab extends CreativeTabs {

public TemStairsTab(String label) {
	super(label);
	//this.setBackgroundImageName("teleport.png");
}
@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	return new ItemStack(ModBlocks.bricksstairwhite).getItem();
}
@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public int getIconItemDamage(){	
        return 3;
    }
}

No, I mean you create an item stack with an item and metadata value, then discard the stack for the item.

 

This:

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Blocks.STONE_SLAB,1,5);
Item item = stack.getItem();

And this:

Item item = Item.getItemForBlock(Blocks.STONE_SLAB);

Are identical.

As would:

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Blocks.STONE_SLAB,1,14);
Item item = stack.getItem();

And:

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Blocks.STONE_SLAB,1,0);
Item item = stack.getItem();

As well as:

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Blocks.STONE_SLAB,1,123456789);
Item item = stack.getItem();

 

Your updated code handles it correctly, of course.  Even if it was "just for testing" it should have been apparent that an Item (which has no concept of metadata) isn't magically different after wrapping it into, then extracting it from, an ItemStack.

No, I mean you create an item stack with an item and metadata value, then discard the stack for the item.

 

Oh yes, true. I do understand now. Sorry...

 

Edit:

Sometimes i wonder why things aren't working and after a while i realize i have been stupid lol! this happens to often

Ofc this isn't working:

public class TemStairsTab extends CreativeTabs {

public TemStairsTab(String label) {
	super(label);
	//this.setBackgroundImageName("teleport.png");
}
@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	ItemStack stack= new ItemStack(ModBlocks.bricksstairwhite);
	Item item = stack.getItem();
	return item;
}
@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public int getIconItemDamage(){	
        return 3;
    }
}

Why? because ModBlocks.bricksstairwhite has no subtypes....

That's why it is called bricksstairwhite

 

Just tried this method getIconItemDamage() with the other tabs and it's all working fine!
