Mod Item Display Names

[Starhide]

Hi, I am trying to retrieve the names of items in recipes and storing the recipes in a file for other uses. I already have it store them in a file but it only stores regular Minecraft's item names and a few mods like Buildcraft. However, it does not retrieve names of items from lets say Industrial Craft 2 or Redpower 2.

 

So, here is an example of what I've tried that all have the same affect.

 

Example 1:

Itemstack item = new Itemstack(Item.appleRed);

item.getDisplayName(); // Only works for Vanilla Items

 

Example 2:

Itemstack item = new Itemstack(Item.appleRed);

StringTranslate.getInstance().translateKey(item.getItemName() + ".name"); // Also, only works for Vanilla Items

 

This is my code for retrieving basic crafting recipes

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

ItemStack recipeResult = null;
ArrayList recipes = (ArrayList) CraftingManager.getInstance().getRecipeList();

for (int scan = 0; scan < recipes.size(); scan++) {
IRecipe tmpRecipe = (IRecipe) recipes.get(scan);
if (tmpRecipe instanceof ShapedRecipes) {
	String recipe = "";
	ShapedRecipes recipe = (ShapedRecipes) tmpRecipe;
	recipeResult = recipe.getRecipeOutput();
	recipe  = recipe + recipeResult.stackSize + "*" + recipeResult.getDisplayName() + " = ";
	for (ItemStack a : recipe.recipeItems) {
		if (a != null) {
			recipe = recipe + a.getDisplayName() + ", ";
		}
	}
	recipes.add(recipe);
}
if (tmpRecipe instanceof ShapelessRecipes) {
	String recipe  = "";
	ShapelessRecipes recipe = (ShapelessRecipes) tmpRecipe;
	recipeResult = recipe.getRecipeOutput();
	recipe  = recipe  + recipeResult.stackSize + "*" + recipeResult.getDisplayName() + " = ";
	for (int a1 = 0; a1 < recipe.recipeItems.size(); a1++) {
		if (recipe.recipeItems.get(a1) != null) {
			ItemStack c = (ItemStack) recipe.recipeItems.get(a1);
			recipe  = recipe  + c.getDisplayName() + ", ";
		}
	}
	recipes.add(recipe);
}
}

 

 

EDIT: I am using 1.4.7 due to Redpower not being updated

getUnlocalizedName()

Well, that probably works but i forgot to mention I am in 1.4.7 which as far as I know does not have that.

So, unless someone finds a solution ill swap to 1.5.2

1.4.7 uses setItemName(...) for items and setBlockName(...) for blocks.

[Starhide]

The getItemName and getBlockName methods return things like item.apple or tile.dirt and don't return anything for modded items.

Honestly haven't messed with it in 1.47

If a new minecraft version comes out, you should GENERALLY move to it. But if it wrecks your code too much, then stay on the previous version.

I've been doing both 1.5.1 and some backporting of my code to 1.4.7, as I'm doing a plugin for Mystcraft, which hasn't updated for 1.5.2 yet, and one person is still using 1.4.7 for a Youtube series (for several reasons, one is because Custom Ore Generation hasn't updated yet).

 

But yeah, generally a good idea to update.

Though soon updating is going to be the death of modders... Stupid Modding API....

I figured it out getDisplayName() works fine only if its called after the game has started not when the mods are loading.

Calling it after mods have loaded is probably a good idea
