ItemBuilder

The item builder is to… build items (surprise!)

It allows you to set various properties that will change how the item behaves and what it can do. You can also use [mods.contenttweaker.item.ItemBuilder#withType](/mods/contenttweaker/API/item/ItemBuilder/#withtype) to switch to a more specialized builder, if there exist any.

To tell CoT that you want the item to appear ingame you need to call [mods.contenttweaker.item.ItemBuilder#build(String)](/mods/contenttweaker/API/item/ItemBuilder/#build) and specify a valid resource location path.

This class was added by a mod with mod-id contenttweaker. So you need to have this mod installed if you want to use this feature.

Importing the class

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues (like casting an Array), so better be safe than sorry and add the import.

mods.contenttweaker.item.ItemBuilder

Implemented Interfaces

ItemBuilder implements the following interfaces. That means any method available to them can also be used on this class.

• mods.contenttweaker.api.IIsBuilder

new ItemBuilder().build(resourceLocation as String);
new ItemBuilder().build("my_awesome_block");

Return type: mods.contenttweaker.item.ItemBuilder

new ItemBuilder().withMaxDamage(maxDamage as int);
new ItemBuilder().withMaxDamage(250);

withMaxStackSize

Allows you to set the maximum stack size for this item.

withType

Sets the specific type of this item. After this method is called the builder’s context will switch to the more provided type builder. That means that the methods of this builder will no longer be available, so any properties you wish to set should be set before you call this method. Returns: A builder with the given item.

Return type: T

new ItemBuilder().withType<T>();
new ItemBuilder().withType<mods.contenttweaker.item.tool.ItemBuilderTool>();
