[1.7.10] Custom In-game item name color?


Elite_Forges

Recommended Posts

I haven't been able to find a single way to change the color of the in-game name (The text you see when you hover over an item or block).

I use the en_US.lang way of naming items since that's apparently what you have to do these days in 1.7.

 

Can somebody please at least point me to the right direction with what I should do?

What is your .setBlockName(String) set to?

 

If it's set to "copperOre", then the name should work. If it's set to "oreCopper", it won't. Your .setBlockName(String) needs to be equivalent to what is in the lang file. Check that to make sure it works (or not).

 

I was able to use '§' to change the coloring of an Item, Block, and Creative Tab, so it isn't a problem with the '§'.

Developer of small, unreleased, basic, and incomplete mods since 2014!

Ok so My en_US.lang copper ore looks like

tile.oreCopper.name=§aCopper Ore§r

 

And I've had the block name set to .setBlockName(oreCopper);

 

And It's being registered into the game with GameRegistry.registerBlock(Stuff.oreCopper, "oreCopper");

 

I don't get why it isn't working. Unless I'm missing something I've done what you did.

 

Yet shows up like this in-game.

Make sure you are encoding with UTF-8.

If I helped please press the Thank You button.

Could you give me an example of how I'd write it in the en_US.lang?  I've tried a number of different things. I've only ever used the \u00A7 thing in servers..

 

Make sure you are encoding with UTF-8.

 

In your editor must be an option to set the encoding of that file.

Don't ask for support per PM! They'll get ignored! | If a post helped you, click the "Thank You" button at the top right corner of said post! |

mah twitter

This thread makes me sad because people just post copy-paste-ready code when it's obvious that the OP has little to no programming experience. This is not how learning works.

Thank you!!  That's all I needed to know! I've got it working, sorry for the trouble guys!

 

For anybody reading this in the future, set the encoding for the en_US.lang file to UTF-8 then use the Section Symbol ( § ) followed by a color code to change the color.

An example of this is " §aCopper Ore", that will result in lime green.

 

To set the encoding of the file (In eclipse) right-click it in the package explorer and go to "Properties" and you can find it there.

    • Hello everyone, I'm making this post to seek help for my modded block, It's a special block called FrozenBlock supposed to take the place of an old block, then after a set amount of ticks, it's supposed to revert its Block State, Entity, data... to the old block like this :  The problem I have is that the system breaks when handling multi blocks (I tried some fix but none of them worked) :  The bug I have identified is that the function "setOldBlockFields" in the item's "setFrozenBlock" function gets called once for the 1st block of multiblock getting frozen (as it should), but gets called a second time BEFORE creating the first FrozenBlock with the data of the 1st block, hence giving the same data to the two FrozenBlock :   Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=head] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@73681674 BlockEntityData : id:"minecraft:bed",x:3,y:-60,z:-6} Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=3, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=2, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} here is the code inside my custom "freeze" item :    @Override     public @NotNull InteractionResult useOn(@NotNull UseOnContext pContext) {         if (!pContext.getLevel().isClientSide() && pContext.getHand() == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) {             BlockPos blockPos = pContext.getClickedPos();             BlockPos secondBlockPos = getMultiblockPos(blockPos, pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos));             if (secondBlockPos != null) {                 createFrozenBlock(pContext, secondBlockPos);             }             createFrozenBlock(pContext, blockPos);             return InteractionResult.SUCCESS;         }         return super.useOn(pContext);     }     public static void createFrozenBlock(UseOnContext pContext, BlockPos blockPos) {         BlockState oldState = pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos);         BlockEntity oldBlockEntity = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? pContext.getLevel().getBlockEntity(blockPos) : null;         CompoundTag oldBlockEntityData = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? oldBlockEntity.serializeNBT() : null;         if (oldBlockEntity != null) {             pContext.getLevel().removeBlockEntity(blockPos);         }         BlockState FrozenBlock = setFrozenBlock(oldState, oldBlockEntity, oldBlockEntityData);         pContext.getLevel().setBlockAndUpdate(blockPos, FrozenBlock);     }     public static BlockState setFrozenBlock(BlockState blockState, @Nullable BlockEntity blockEntity, @Nullable CompoundTag blockEntityData) {         BlockState FrozenBlock = BlockRegister.FROZEN_BLOCK.get().defaultBlockState();         ((FrozenBlock) FrozenBlock.getBlock()).setOldBlockFields(blockState, blockEntity, blockEntityData);         return FrozenBlock;     }
