Hello again,

I have a tool that i would like to change the name of as it gets damaged.  I have tried overriding getUnlocalizeName but that does not give the expected results, it always gives the unlocalized name for the  item with 0 damage.  So my question is how can i accomplish this.

Please show your item code. Overriding "getUnlocalizedName" is the correct way to change the name, so your code must be doing something wrong. 

Sorry for the delay i took a short break from modding.

Here is the code i use:

@Override
	public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack stack)
    {
        return "item." + this.getRegistryName().getResourcePath() + "_" + (stack.getMetadata() % 25);
    }

But it is always the same unlocalized name.

Here is the full item class.  And i did not know that could be a problem so i will fix it ASAP.

package net.drok.poverhaul.item;

import javax.annotation.Nullable;

import net.drok.poverhaul.POHMod;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.item.IItemPropertyGetter;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemElytra;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.NonNullList;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class ItemRock extends Item {

	public ItemRock() {
		this.setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(POHMod.MODID, "rock"));
		this.setHasSubtypes(true);
		this.setMaxDamage(110);
		
		this.addPropertyOverride(new ResourceLocation("sharpness"), new IItemPropertyGetter()
        {
            @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
            public float apply(ItemStack stack, @Nullable World worldIn, @Nullable EntityLivingBase entityIn)
            {
                return stack.getMetadata();
            }
        });
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean showDurabilityBar(ItemStack stack)
    {
        return true;
    }
	
	@Override
	public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack stack)
    {
        return "item." + this.getRegistryName().getResourcePath() + "_" + (stack.getMetadata() % 25);
    }
	
	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void getSubItems(CreativeTabs tab, NonNullList<ItemStack> items)
    {
        if (this.isInCreativeTab(tab))
        {
        	items.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, 0));
        	items.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, 25));
        	items.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, 50));
        	items.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, 100));
        }
    }
	
}

 

Ok i changed that but the unlocalized name still doesn't change.

Hmm it seems that the two lines of code i tested both return 0 even though the item is clearly damaged ingame.

I used:

stack.getMetadata()

and

stack.getItemDamage()

Is this not the proper way of getting how damaged the item is?

Ok the max stack size is 1 but both methods still return zero no matter what.

Ugh nevermind im an idiot it works i just didnt realize that i needed to spawn in new items for it to update.  Thank you for all the help!
