Help!! how do I change an Item's name without using events?

I am currently working on a plugin that will allow players to rename items held in their hand by using a command to rename them. I was wondering how i might be able to do this while only checking if the command is used. PlayerHeldItemEvent checks on its own without calling, so I excluded that from my use. I have the plugin in development here: https://github.com/PocketMineMasters/ItemRenamer
Thank you for the help.

PHP:

$p->getInventory()->getItemOnHand();


No need to use PlayerItemHeldEvent

correction : $p->getInventory()->getItemInHand();

Thankyou!

setCustomName() isn't working to set the item's name. Any Ideas?

there is a way to set the ItemName using NBT tags, but I don't know how. Any Help?

What's the error(if any)?

It just won't change the item's name. and there is no error output.

Here's the code that isn't working:

PHP:

$sender->getInventory()->getItemInHand()->setCustomName($args[0]); //doesn't work
$ItemName = $sender->getInventory()->getItemInHand()->getName();
$sender->sendMessage(TF::BOLD.TF::GREEN."[Item Renamer] ".TF::RESET.TF::GREEN."The Item's Name Changed to: \n".TF::GREEN.$ItemName);
return true;

Just a question, why don't you just use $args[0] instead of $itemName?

This will each time write to the Console e.g. [ItemRenamer] The Item's Name Changed to: Stone Sword.
Use getCustomName() instead of getName()

Does the player see customName in-game?

PHP:

Public function onHand(PlayerItemHeldEvent $event){
If($event->getPlayer()->getInventory()->getItemInHand()->getId() == $item){
$event->getPlayer()->sendPopup("Hello !");
 }
}

I don't because by using $itemname it ensures that the item's name is changed.

I would like to do what I am trying without the use of events

You can't do this without event :/

Dang, I was really hoping...

Try setting the custom Name before putting the item into the inventory.

Read before replying..

The issue with your method is that the item's name is still the same. You just added a popup to overshadow it. What I am trying to do is rename the item so that it can be given to another player and keep the name with the NBT tag

Why did you quote my post?

sorry, didnt mean to
