How do you create a custom item in Spigot 1.16.5?

Question

I'm making a plugin that adds some useful items like House Building Wand, Exploding Sword, etc. But how can I add those items using the plugin?

Answer 1

Normally, you would want to make a class for your item. For example, you can make a class HouseBuildingWand.java and add some Java logic in it.

public class HouseBuildingWand {
  public static ItemStack getHouseBuildingWand() {
    ItemStack houseBuildingWand = new ItemStack(Material.YOUR_ITEM);
    return houseBuildingWand;
  }
}

To make the ability, you have to use Java knowledge. To add enchantments, flags, lore, names, check out https://bukkit.gamepedia.com/Plugin_Tutorial#Item_Manipulation. To get the item, you would need a command or an event that would give you the item.

To check how the item was clicked, you can use an event listener with the event PlayerInteractEvent. Example:

    @EventHandler
    public void onRightClick (PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
        if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) {
            if (event.getItem().getType() == Material.YOUR_ITEM) {
                // insert logic
            }
        }
    }
