[Solved] [1.12.2] Can't get the block name

[American2050]

How do I get the name of the item/block on an itemstack?

I tried

I18n.format(theStackInside.getItem().getUnlocalizedName()));

 

But I get "tile.stonebrick" when the idea is that I should get "Cobblestone"

PS: Not even sure why it says stonebrick there. And I believe that's the main error. The ItemStack I confirmed it's a cobblestone ItemStack.

Here is the code been called on a block with a TE:

 

ItemStack theStackInside = ((TECobblestoneGenerator) tileentity).getStackInSlot(0);
            	System.out.println(theStackInside.getCount() + " " + I18n.format(theStackInside.getItem().getUnlocalizedName()));

 

And the TE:

 

private NonNullList<ItemStack> generatorItemStacks = NonNullList.<ItemStack>withSize(1, ItemStack.EMPTY);

    @Override
    public ItemStack getStackInSlot(int index) {
    	return this.generatorItemStacks.get(index);
    }

    @Override
    public void setInventorySlotContents(int index, ItemStack stack) {
        ItemStack itemstack = this.generatorItemStacks.get(index);
        boolean flag = !stack.isEmpty() && stack.isItemEqual(itemstack) && ItemStack.areItemStackTagsEqual(stack, itemstack);
        this.generatorItemStacks.set(index, stack);

        if (stack.getCount() > this.getInventoryStackLimit())
        {
            stack.setCount(this.getInventoryStackLimit());
        }

        if (index == 0 && !flag)
        {
            this.markDirty();
        }
    }
  
      @Override
    public void update() {
    	if (!this.world.isRemote)
        {
    		this.cooldown++;
    		
    		if(cooldown >= 100) {
    			this.cooldown = 0;
    			
    			ItemStack stackInside = this.getStackInSlot(0);
    			if(stackInside!=null) {
    				if(stackInside.getItem() != Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.COBBLESTONE)) {
    					this.setInventorySlotContents(0, new ItemStack(Blocks.COBBLESTONE,1,0));
    				}
    				else if(stackInside.getCount() < this.getInventoryStackLimit()) {
    					stackInside.grow(1);
    				}
    			}
    			
    		}

        }
    }

To get the name, call ItemStack::getDisplayName.

Thanks a lot. That worked. Didn't know I could call that from the ItemStack itself

Thanks.

I need to display a message in players chat with the name of the block.
