Use named items for tools

[Peter200lx]

Minecraft has support for named items.

This can be used to make ToolBelt only listen to specific items instead of all ____ (bone, golden shovel, etc)

Also the items can have descriptions, handy for giving usage instructions.

Also worth investigating, this might mean that the paint tool can now listen to a specific paint name instead of an action bar slot.

Here is an example I use to use the lore data of an item for a specific event. So only if the item has that lore will the event fire.

    @EventHandler
    public void onShoot(EntityShootBowEvent e) {
        ArrayList loreData = new ArrayList();
        loreData.add("Feel the Wither Within as you pull!");
        Player player = (Player) e.getEntity();
        if (e.getEntity() == null) {
            return;
        }
        if ((e.getBow().getItemMeta().hasLore())
                && (e.getBow().getItemMeta().getLore().equals(loreData))) {
            Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
            e.setCancelled(true);
            ((WitherSkull) p.launchProjectile(WitherSkull.class)).setVelocity(e.getProjectile().getVelocity());
            p.removePotionEffect(PotionEffectType.WITHER);
            p.getWorld().playEffect(p.getLocation(), Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 5);
        }
    }
