Tutorial - Renaming Items

For Steps 1-5, you are expected to have your onCommand method, as well as your onEnable and onDisable ready, with your Plugin.yml.

1: Create the ItemStack. I am going to create a ItemStack names IceCream, and make it 1 piece of Sugar.

Code:java

ItemStack IceCream = new ItemStack(Material.SUGAR, 1);

2: We are going to make the ItemMeta. I am going to call it IceCreamMeta.

Code:java

ItemMeta IceCreamMeta = IceCream.getItemMeta();

3: This is where we do the actually renaming. You can use IceCreamMeta. to see a list, but I am just going to rename it. Also, this works with ChatColors.

Code:java

IceCreamMeta.setDisplayName("IceCream");

4: We are now going to rap this up. We need to set IceCream to IceCreamMeta.

Code:java

IceCream.setItemMeta(IceCreamMeta);

5: OPTIONAL: You can now give it to the player's inventory.

Code:java

Inventory pi = player.getInventory();
pi.addItem(IceCream)

The Final Product:

Code:java

if (alias.equalsIgnoreCase("GiveMeIceCream")) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
Inventory pi = player.getInventory();
 
ItemStack IceCream = new ItemStack(Material.SUGAR, 1);
ItemMeta IceCreamMeta = IceCream.getItemMeta();
IceCreamMeta.setDisplayName("IceCream");
IceCream.setItemMeta(IceCreamMeta);
 
pi.addItem(IceCream);
}

I really shouldn't tahg staff, but here goes nothing: Jade

Otherwise, it's fine although many people can just look up "How to name items Bukkit" on google. On the other hand, some people are too stupid to do so...

I did. But then Jade came to the rescue 26 minutes later, which I have to say, is responding to a 911 call and finding the house completely obliterated by the fire :/. Well. Would've taken more time than tagging maybe Jade should get one of those page reloader thingys like chaseos has.
