1.12 ItemTooptipEvent


Blu_Nighttime

Recommended Posts

Trying to add a tooltip to an item, seen a couple topics about but nothing is really helping. I've got:

public ModItem(){...} //Standard setup

public void ItemTooltipEvent(ItemStack itemStack, EntityPlayer entityPlayer, List<String> toolTip, ITooltipFlag flags) {
		toolTip.add("This Is A ToolTip");
	} //Not sure what I'm missing

Like I'm asking, I know I'm missing something but not sure what. Any pointers are great and much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

You've got everything wrong.

 

1) You haven't registered an event handler

2) Your event handler method has the wrong signature

3) The method signature you do seem to have is the one from the Item class.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Are they your own Items override addInformation in your Item or Block class. If they are not subscribe to the ItemToolTipEvent, you can read more about events on the forge docs.

VANILLA MINECRAFT CLASSES ARE THE BEST RESOURCES WHEN MODDING

I will be posting 1.15.2 modding tutorials on this channel. If you want to be notified of it do the normal YouTube stuff like subscribing, ect.

Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I found the addInformation event in another forum page but it looked a little like this

@Override
public void addInformation(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer entityPlayer, List list, boolean par4){...}

I'm not sure if this is an old version but this no longer works. Now I know it's addInformation, I just looked up Item#addInformation and it's completely different now

@Override
public void addInformation(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, List<String> tooltip, ITooltipFlag flagIn){...}

I'm assuming this is the way to add tooltips to already existing items, like vanilla items. Thanks for letting me know the differences and how to perform that way.

 

P.S. Is changing colour of the text a flag or is it a little more complicated?

 

Thanks.
