Why can't we change repair item on vanilla ToolMaterial?

[Zgron]

This is the code for setRepairItem in Item.java

 

  public ToolMaterial setRepairItem(ItemStack stack)

        {

            if (!this.repairMaterial.isEmpty()) throw new RuntimeException("Repair material has already been set");

            if (this == WOOD || this == STONE || this == GOLD || this == IRON || this == DIAMOND) throw new RuntimeException("Can not change vanilla tool repair materials");

            this.repairMaterial = stack;

            return this;

        }

 

This throws a runtime error.

 

The usage of repairMaterial is done through the direct of the repairMaterial variable in the ToolMaterial (it isn't copied anywere). So I just wonder why this restriction is here?

 

I'm just curious of the reason.

 

I suppose I will be using asm to change cobblestone to flint for now though.
