lol why would minecraft do that, it limits them in many ways.

Packets and network data, as well as saving to disk, and the pure fact that they dont need anything higher than the durability of a diamond pickaxe.

Storage space & bandwidth for one, NBT is a massive storage hole compared with how small/optimised (not really) Minecraft's other data storage formats are.

Honestly any attempts to optimise anything in Minecraft is pretty much a lost cause, but using shorts instead of integers does cut the size of all the data in half. They couldn't use bytes because they already have durabilities greater than 256. (Bytes are have 256 possible values and are stored in 1 byte, Shorts have 65536 possible values are stored in 2 bytes, Integers have 4294967296 possible values and are stored in 4 bytes)

It's ok, I have done it to.

i didnt realize that, networking is currently beyond me. funny though, i have a cheaty set of items that are uncraftable. and this is the material i use
and i get no errors or problems with it

 

public static final Item.ToolMaterial MATERIAL_BASE = EnumHelper.addToolMaterial
        (
                "material_base", 
                2147483647, 
                -1, 
                2147483647.0f,
                2147483647.0f, 
                2147483647
        );

It compiling doesn't mean it will work in game or when saving/sending packets or when loading from a save/recieving packets.

no, it runs, all values are set to max int or infinate

@reapersremorse The items damage is actually how much damage the item has taken I believe that when you save and load the world after having the item take 32768 it will either reset to full durability or to having taken 32768 damage. And also if the items damage is ever over 65535 the ItemStack will be considered empty and would then no longer really exist.

?ill test it

I have tested it, it goes back to full on reload, and disappears after taking Short.MAX_VALUE * 2 + 2 or 65535.

Double post.

Ill remember this. Thanks, when i get off work ill change my values for my creative tools. (I should just make them -1 and forget the damage since they wont be used in normal play.
