Solved Changing Item Description?

Whenever I play on Ghost Craft, they always change the name of the swords as well as the description of the sword. How do I do this too? Like, ItemChangeEvent, or on a command? I'd like it when a command is inserted.

 

You would need to look at ItemMeta.

The name is the name.
The description is called Lore.

Wait, so how do I do this? I keep trying, but it's not working. : P

 

Are you even coding a plugin? If you are it would help if you posted some code so we can actually see what you are doing wrong

 

To change the name of what the player is holding:

Code:java

ItemStack is = player.getInventory().getItemInHand();
ItemMeta im = is.getItemMeta();
 
//Set the name to MyName
im.setDisplayName("MyName");
 
//Set the Lore
List<String> lore = Arrays.asList("First line", "Second Line", "Third Line");
im.setLore(lore);
 
//Add an enchantment
im.addEnchant(Enchantment.PROTECTION_FALL, 3, false);
 
//Set the meta to the item
is.setItemMeta(im);

 

That doesn't work, it only changes the name to whatever I want it to be.

 

The lore, the lore, don't you read what people say? :l

 

I do read it, and I did put in the Lore. It didn't change it.

 

So did you add the itemmeta to the item after you changed it?
It might help if you show everyone the code, by the way.

 

The code was already shown by gomeow on how to change the name of an item, add lore, and add enchantments

 

Try this then

Code:

 
ItemStack is = new ItemStack(Material.STICK, 1);
ItemMeta im = is.getItemMeta();
im.setDisplayName("TheName");
ArrayList<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
lore.add("Add Descriptions with this just add another lore.add()");
im.setLore(lore);
is.setItemMeta(im);

 

I found out that I actually did it wrong. gomeow did it correctly the first time. xD
