I'm creating a modifier system to tools, which I've mentioned a few times here, and I'm trying to edit some of these values. However, due to passing in an ItemStack, I cannot figure out how to cast it into the type of Item that I can modify. How would I go about modifying these values in my capability. One theory I've had is declaring those variables in the capability and then setting the defaults in the ItemClass, but I'm not 100% sure how to do that.

If I was trying to change the efficiency of a tool, there is a base value in the Item class. for an individual ItemStack, what is the accepted way to edit the speed of a tool. I haven't been able to find any resources online

I hadn't seen that comment, but where would I override those methods? Would I be declaring a new Instance of the item in the Capabilities class and then passing in the stack?

This is my Current tool class. I am overriding the methods, but when there is a specific tag, probably NBT, I'm trying to change the efficiency value. I'm also getting a stack using getStackInSlot, which gives me an itemstack, and if it belongs to my mod, it's supposed to add a modifier

override in your ItemForcePickaxe initCapabilities

 

here is how caps work

remove: implements Capability.IStorage<IToolModifier>

and move the fields inside your capability

and use @Override if you Override a method

How would I go about overriding something in initCapabilities?

you are doing it here https://github.com/BURN447/DartcraftReloaded/blob/master/src/main/java/burn447/dartcraftReloaded/Items/Tools/ItemToolBase.java#L139

do you get the idea now??

Thanks for the help. I believe I have an understanding of what's happening
