Getting an ItemType from a string?

Plugins Plugin Development
1

Hello!

I am working on a plugin that needs to open an inventory with some specific items in it. However, I want the user to be able to change the type of item the inventory shows in a config. Is it possible to change the itemtype by getting a string from a config?

So the config would look something like this

Test{
item = ItemTypes.DIAMOND
}

and I tried this code, but it didn’t work

node = loadConf().getNode(“Test”, “item”);
ItemStack badgeItem = ItemStack.builder().itemType((ItemType)node.getValue()).build();

Use this.

String itemString;
sponge.getRegistry().getType(ItemType.class, itemString()).get();

Note that it will return optional empty if the item type does not exist.

Just want to clarify for any future viewers. This works, but the config string needs to be changed to the actual minecraft ID, so e.g “minecraft:diamond” and not what I had written.
