How to set a custom item name and a custom item name color

[IMleader]

Hello! Me again :(. I just need help with the minecraft/forge api. Again I am using forge 1.8.

The code related is: 

ItemStack dropp = drop.getDrops().get(id);
if (instructionsToValue[j].equalsIgnoreCase("itemname")) {
	String s = instructionsToValue[j + 1];	
} else if (instructionsToValue[j].equalsIgnoreCase("itemnamecolor")) {
							
}

Based on the value of s(Would be same for item color) how would I set the items name and item name color. ALL of my code can be viewed on github: https://github.com/xXXIMMATTHEWXXx/BroCubes

Where in your repository is this three lines of code located?

These supplied lines are no where near enough to figure out what the hell you're even talking about, much less answer your question (and I say "three" because the first one is useless in this context, it creates a local variable that is then unused in the rest of the snippet and could have been omitted).

Ah, you're trying to set the item stack NBT data so the item has a custom name, same as if it was renamed in the Anvil?

 

Try looking at the anvil code to see how it applies a name.

Can you check my updated code? It does not seem to work. I looked at what the avil does.

Just was reading around some nbt code. Found this: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Command_NBT_tags under display. The items name and color are both under this display value. How do I go about chaneging these? 

[Draco18s]

Looks fine to me. But I've never used those methods.

Does it work?

[IMleader]

It does not. Do you know how lucky blocks achieves this?
