[SOLVED] Get Material from the ID

[suckycomedian]

Hi, I'm really new to Forge (I've been making bukkit plugins for a couple years) and am having trouble figuring out how to get a Material from an ID so that I can put it into a recipe. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Edit:

I need the ID because the item is from a different mod.

I'm a bit confused, why would you need a "Material" for a crafting recipe? It only describes stuff like this material can burn, be pushed and so on. Looking at the Materail class, it does not have any ID. Could you please describe better your problem?

Hmm the way Bukkit and Forge treat the word "Material" might be different. In minecraft you assign items an ID. For example, stone's ID is 1 and grass is 2 etc. Since the item is from an outside mod, I need to use the ID.

 

I'm trying to use the ID for something like this:

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(<item id>, 1), new Object[]{"XXX", "X X", Chatacter.valueOf('X'), <item id>});

Item IDs in mods are not stable. They can be changed via Configs. Don't rely on them.

 

This is just for my own personal use so if it changes at some point I can just come in and change this

Well, then just use new ItemStack(ITEM_ID, amount, DAMAGE);

oh lol... wow. I feel dumb. I didn't realize you needed to put damage.. I'll walk away in shame now. Thanks
