Bukkit API How to set material data to an itemstack

I am using Bukkit API 1.8.3

I am trying to compare ItemStacks based on their Material and MaterialData, to do this I must make the ItemStacks exactly the same and then change the Material and MaterialData of one ItemStack.

I know how to change the material using setType() but I do not know how to set a MaterialData. The method for this is setData(MaterialData) However, how do you have MaterialData as a variable?

I searched on Google, Stackoverflow, Spigot forums and bukkit forums and could not find an answer.

How can I set MaterialData to an ItemStack?

NOTE: I cannot try this with no hint or idea on how to do this

Solution

  • I haven't tested it, but you can use getType() on your Itemstack, to get the Material and call getData() afterwards to get the MaterialData.
