[Enum] User-friendly material names

Hello!
After searching a little, I didn't find anything that fits my problem. I was doing a "give" system, and the messages needed the item's name, and I didn't find a better way than make an Enum with all the materials and it's name.
So, here is the enum:

Code:java

package me.LCastr0.ButterCraft.SimpleCommands.Enums;
 
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils;
 
public enum ItemNames {
 
//Made by LCastr0
//sbuttercraft.com
//Please, do not remove this lines!

private final String name;
 
private ItemNames(final String name){
this.name = name;
}
 
public String toString(){
return name;
}
 
private static final Map<String, ItemNames> lookup = new HashMap<String, ItemNames>();
//Returns the Material name from the given block name
public static String getMaterialName(String fromBlockName){
for(ItemNames n : values()){
lookup.put(n.toString(), n);
}
String result = lookup.get(fromBlockName).name();
return result;
}
 
//Returns the item name with the first letter uppercased (Example: pressure plate -> Pressure plate)
public String firstUpperCased(){
char first = Character.toUpperCase(name.charAt(0));
return first + name.substring(1);
}
 
//Returns the item name with all the words with the first letter uppercased (Example: pressure plate -> Pressure Plate)
public String firstAllUpperCased(){
return WordUtils.capitalizeFully(name);
}
 
//Returns the item name with all the letters uppercased (Example: pressure plate -> PRESSURE PLATE)
public String allUpperCased(){
return name.toUpperCase();
}
 
}
 

To use it, it's very simple:

Returns the item name with no capital letters:

Code:java

private ItemNames names;
public String itemName(Material type){
return names.valueOf(type.toString()).toString();
}

Returns the item name with the first letter capitalized:

Code:

private ItemName names;
public String itemName(Material type){
return names.valueOf(type.toString()).firstUpperCased();
}

Returns the item name with the first letter of every word capitalized:

Code:

private ItemName names;
public String itemName(Material type){
return names.valueOf(type.toString()).firstAllUpperCased();
}

Returns the item name with all the letters capitalized:

Code:

private ItemName names;
public String itemName(Material type){
return names.valueOf(type.toString()).allUpperCased();
}

Returns the Material, from the given item name:

Code:

public Material fromItemName(String itemName){
return Material.getMaterial(ItemNames.getMaterialName(itemName));
}

Please, don't remove the green lines from the Enum! I took more than 1 hour to write it!
#Edit: If I missed any material, or changed any name, please, tell me!

#Edit 1 - WALL_SIGN, LEATHER_LEGGINGS, LEATHER_HELMET and LEATHER_CHESTPLATE. Thanks hugokk

#Edit 2 - Added option to return Material's name (or the Material itself) from the given item name

 

Just do this with the standart Material Enum:

Code:java

Material.GOLD_BLOCK.toString.toLowerCase.replace("_", " ");

Most names should be fixed than.

 

It's not the same. Some items/blocks have a different name for the material:

Code:

GRILLED_PORK("cooked porkchop"),

Code:

HARD_CLAY("hardened clay"),

And a lot more, that I won't put here.

Edit #1: Workbench -> Crafting table

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Very nice list , it's really helpful!

I found a few mistakes:
WALL_SIGN: sing -> this is supposed to be sign ofcourse
LEATHER_LEGGINGS: leather leggings -> they are called leather pants
LEATHER_CHESTPLATE: leather chestplate -> this must be leather tunic
LEATHER_HELMET: leather helmet -> leather cap

 

Thank you Edited

I'm lazy so is there anyway to make it work the other way too? So you feed in the friendly material name, and get the full MaterialType name?

 

Not sure, because I'm not that good with Enums, but I'll try to find a way

xXSniperzzXx_SD I know it's possible, but I'm not sure how...
Maybe I could make a reverse enum, but it would take a lot of time :/

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Why wouldn't you just tack on another param in the constructor and make a method that does that? srsly not that hard

 

I was actually doing something wrong... (I changed the Map that would return the name D: )
Edited the post with the new code, and how to use
