I did, but the problem is, that the eclipse username of the player changes each time you open minecraft, so i cant test it.

Configure your run configuration's arguments and add '--username yourname' to have a specified name each time.

Where are the run configurations arguments?

Quote from LapisSea»

Next to the play button click the dropdown window and click "Run Configurations". Than click on client (there are 2 of them and it they are the same) than click on "Arguments" and place the --username=XYZXYZXY under the "program arguments"

Super! Thanks

Hmmm... I think that NEI did it with creating new txt files in mc directory. Whatever. I'll look into it some more maybe go on stackoverflow.com or something!

Sure, that could work, too. You just need somewhere outside of the standard save directory structure that you can easily access, but there are limitations: what happens if the player/server migrates a world save directory somewhere else? Suddenly, whatever data you were storing is potentially lost. What if I log in to a different server? They don't have my file. Thus my suggestion of an online repository such as Minecraft uses for player skins.

Am i right, that i have to make a new instance of IExtendedEnttyProperties for each variable? I want to let the player have a Name and a Surname. Is there a way to do that in one class?

Please learn basic Java. Even in the tutorial examples I have more than one variable in a class (max and current mana).

Yes sorry, i havent read your tutorial properly the moment i wrote. And i can code Java quite well

Your question clearly contradicts your latter claim. Adding class members is so fundamentally basic, not just to Java, but any Object Oriented language, that it is a dead giveaway if you don't know it. Please don't claim to know what you don't - it is not only absurd, but preventing yourself from trying to learn more by thinking you already know 'enough'.

No! I just wasnt finished reading your tutorial! I am coding Java since 4 years.

You must be joking, right? How have you coded for 4 years and not yet learned how to add more members to a class? You shouldn't be expecting to learn that in my tutorial, it is taken as a given. I'm not trying to be rude here, but you have a major disconnect between what you think you know and what you truly know, and the error is not in your favor.

I suggest you to stop all modding (temporarily), forget everything you think you know about Java (surely you aren't confusing it what JavaScript?!), and start from square one. I'm being totally serious, here. Go through the entire tutorial, not just reading it but using it. Make a few simple programs. Read more. After a month or two of that, come back and try again - hopefully it will be much easier, comprehensible, and fun.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!I was not joking . I now exactly how to add new members, new variables and all that. I just was a bit confused by your tutorial, because first you make the IExtendedEntityProperties, then some other things and then you change some things in the properties.

How would I go about getting the value of Mana a player has, and then outputting it into the chat using an item? I know how to use the onItemRightClick and player.addChatMessage, but I can't seem to get the player Mana value.

EDIT: I'm running minecraft 1.7.10

It's the same for any MC version: get the extended properties instance for the player you have, then call the getCurrentMana or whatever method you need.

Quote from MESSpace»

So would the getCurrentMana just return the currentMana variable? Or would it read from NBT? Because With the currentMana variable it just returns a zero, even when I have your test item set up (which works perfectly fine).

That depends which implementation you are using: are you using a variable for currentMana, or storing it in DataWatcher? In the end, it shouldn't matter - getCurrentMana should return the current mana, but it sounds like you didn't code your method correctly.

Show your code.
