Ugh, why is Minecraft so complicated under the hood?

I thought I had the indexing of items down, but apparently there are many more that aren't simply of a certain type. Not only weapons and armor can have enchantments of a certain level. Banners, fireworks and potions are even more complicated with a variable number of modifications on multiple levels. That's going to make it a whole lot more difficult to store in the database and find the price of items when a player tries to sell them. I'm not sure if it's even possible at all at this point... 🙁

The analyst in you loves the challenge, though... if there's a way, you'll find it.

@HootyTheNightOwl Yep, I may just need to start over from scratch, have a closer look at what information I can fetch and rethink how to save that and how to process it in other features.

Or I may put some more time into searching for better third party plugins...

@NerdyPotato Trouble with third party plugins is that they might not do exactly what you want them to do without additional coding.

@HootyTheNightOwl true, that's why I tried to create my own after not finding exactly what I needed. But with this amount of work involved in what I really want, if I can find something a little closer, I'll settle for that.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Summon Herobrine and sell him your soul.

Or better yet, come to the Doom community. We need more smart modders and coders like you.

Yeah its too complicated to properly enjoy it in my opinion. I enjoyed the simplicity of it in the past, the graphics were square because it was practical, it didnt need to be complicated to be fun and relaxing. The sugar cane update was the final update i played, then it started going downhill for me.
