Custom Variables on Diferent Item Stacks [SOLVED]

[Doctor Moonbad]

Hi there, I'm Moonbad.

 

How does one implement a custom variable that can have different values throughout different instances of the same item?

I created a Class called ItemAbsorber that increases it's "Charge" variable over time, but all instances of this item have the same "Charge", as if they where one.

How do I make Minecraft understand that each item has it's own "Charge"?

 

EDIT (1): Messing with the item's durability does not seem to solve the issue.

You can use the stack metadata ("damage value") for simple things. The modern approach is to use capabilities.

I see. Thank you Reality Controller!
