Thanks for the quick responses! Haha, I had figured it's a String which led to my confusion. I'll look into ChatComponentText. Thank you. I'll look into this one as well if diesieben07's solution doesn't work. Thank you. EDIT: diesieben07's solution was perfect, thank you

Good evening lads and lasses, I am having a little problem while trying to display a chat message with an item. I want to do this through the addChatMessage() method, however it thinks my given argument is a String and not an IChatComponent. I have tried looking through the source however it didn't help me. Browsing the web and the Forge forum haven't given me an answer either. @Override public boolean func_111207_a(ItemStack itemstack, EntityPlayer player, EntityLivingBase target){ if(!target.worldObj.isRemote){ player.addChatMessage("Test"); } return false; } This is what the troubling part of the code looks like. I have done exactly the same thing as some examples on the internet, that all worked perfectly fine according to the original programmer. Even directly copied a bit once, however it didn't work... Summary the method addChatMessage thinks the given argument is a String instead of IChatComponent
