[1.14.4] Need help with item tooltips .

Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm trying to add a custom item tooltip for my item but I have no idea why it isn't working. 1.14.4 really has been a pain with all the new changes.

 

public class wooden_shears extends ShearsItem {

    public wooden_shears() {
        super(new Item.Properties()
                .maxStackSize(1)
                //.defaultMaxDamage(-1)
                .group(ItemGroup.TOOLS));
        setRegistryName("wooden_shears");

    }
    @OnlyIn(Dist.CLIENT)
    public void  info (ItemStack stack, PlayerEntity player, List list, boolean bool){
        list.add(ChatFormatting.DARK_RED + "Test");
    }
}

 Thank you in advance.

1. Do not name your class with lower cases. The convention is to camel case and capitalize the first letter.

2. Your info method does nothing as of now. You need to override Item#addInformation instead.

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

4.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it.

Camel case. As in a camel has humps. Like ClassNamesWithCapitals.

And where do I do that and how?

You wrote a function with the name "info." If you put the @Override annotation on it, Eclipse (or IntelliJ) will tell you to remove the annotation because you're not overriding anything. You need to be overriding addInformation. If you go to a blank line and hit ctrl-space and type "addInformation" and hit enter, your IDE will create an overridden function for you.

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.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

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