Methods with incompatible return types clash

[fervent raft]

I'm making a mod that adds armor that can take attachments like a gun in Vic's Point Blank, but my class for the AttachmentArmorItem gives the following error:
'getName()' in 'net.minecraft.item.Item' clashes with 'getName()' in 'com.vicmatskiv.pointblank.Nameable'; attempting to use incompatible return type

My Class currently looks like this:

package net.iamvoodoo.voodoosmodernarmor.item.custom;

import com.vicmatskiv.pointblank.attachment.Attachment;
import com.vicmatskiv.pointblank.attachment.AttachmentHost;
import com.vicmatskiv.pointblank.feature.Feature;
import net.minecraft.item.ArmorItem;
import net.minecraft.item.ArmorMaterial;
import net.minecraft.registry.entry.RegistryEntry;

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;

public class AttachmentArmorItem extends ArmorItem implements AttachmentHost {

    public AttachmentArmorItem(RegistryEntry<ArmorMaterial> material, Type type, Settings settings) {
        super(material, type, settings);
    }
    
    @Override
    public Collection<Attachment> getCompatibleAttachments() {
        return List.of();
    }

    @Override
    public Collection<Feature> getFeatures() {
        return List.of();
    }
}

I tried to figure out how the gunItem class fixes this issue, but I haven't had much luck yet. Does anyone know a solution?

do you know java?

there are two methods that from super classes that clash

[fervent raft]

Yes, I do understand that

I also noticed that the GunItem class does this

[fiery spruce]

have you checked what any other class does?

[fervent raft]

public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }

    public Text getName(ItemStack itemStack) {
        return Text.translatable(this.getTranslationKey(itemStack));
    }

So it overrides it?

But I tried doing that and that just moved the error to the lines of the methods

[fiery spruce]

that should not conflict

[fervent raft]

With the methods it currently looks like this

[fiery spruce]

at an @Override to Text getName

[fervent raft]

Ok, i did that

But line 27 still seems to be giving an error

[fiery spruce]

hmm let me see

[fervent raft]

According to one of the warnings, the Text getName is entirely redundant because it is identical to the super method

[fiery spruce]

that's just a warning

[fervent raft]

Then what precisely is the point of overriding a method but not changing anything? Sorry if this is a dumb question

[fiery spruce]

this is odd indeed

can you explain what's your end goal?

what are you trying to make?

i've hacked into this mod once so idk what might have changed in newer versions

yeah i don't see a solution

[fervent raft]

I want to add armor that has the functionality of the gun attachment screen, where you can add a predefined list of compatible attachments to it (e.g. night vision on your helmet)

[fervent raft]

Thanks anyways. Do you know where I should go with this next?

[fiery spruce]

i'd ask the author tbh
