Item Decoder

Utility class for decoding items from strings. If the string cannot be decoded, it will return the provided fallback item and log an error.

stringToItem

Decodes an item from a string. The string should be in the format “namespace:path”. If the string cannot be decoded, it will return the provided fallback item and log an error.

stringToItemExample.java

import dev.matthiesen.matthiesen_core.common.utility.item.ItemDecoder;
import net.minecraft.world.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.world.item.Items;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String itemString = "minecraft:stone";
        Item fallbackItem = Items.AIR; // Fallback item if decoding fails

        Item decodedItem = ItemDecoder.stringToItem(itemString, fallbackItem);

        System.out.println("Decoded Item: " + decodedItem);
    }
}

stringToBlock

Decodes a block from a string. The string should be in the format “namespace:path”. If the string cannot be decoded, it will return the provided fallback block and log an error.

stringToBlockExample.java

import dev.matthiesen.matthiesen_core.common.utility.item.ItemDecoder;
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.Blocks;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String blockString = "minecraft:stone";
        Block fallbackBlock = Blocks.AIR; // Fallback block if decoding fails

        Block decodedBlock = ItemDecoder.stringToBlock(blockString, fallbackBlock);

        System.out.println("Decoded Block: " + decodedBlock);
    }
}
