Thank you, I'll update and give it a shot!

I'm using forge-1.8-11.14.4.1563-mdk, so I assume ITextComponent is IChatComponent, and wouldn't this be the event.message.getFormattedText(); ?

I probably am retarded, but don't wanna be 'spoon fed' code. Could you maybe provide a example or direct me somewhere that could help me?

Hi, I'm making a simple forge mod to highlight words, everything works splendidly but I'm unsure of how to keep chat formatting intact. For instance lets say I was on a faction server , players have a faction, a rank and then their name and chat message. With being Highlighted what It looks like: [Faction] [Tag] Name: Sentence with the highlighted word you chose. (purple = white but if it was white you wouldn't be able to see it :P) With being Highlighted what I want it to look like: [Faction] [Tag] Name: Sentence with the highlighted word you chose. Here is my ClientChatReceivedEvent class: public class OnClientChatReceivedEvent { List<String> words = Highlight.getWords(); @SubscribeEvent public void onClientChatReceivedEvent(ClientChatReceivedEvent event) { String message = event.message.getFormattedText(); boolean sendOriginal = true; String newMessage = ""; // get the words String[] messageWords = message.split(" "); for (int w = 0; w < messageWords.length; w++) { // does this message word match any of the search words boolean wordMatches = false; for (int i = 0; i < words.size(); i++) { if (messageWords[w].equalsIgnoreCase(words.get(i))) { sendOriginal = false; wordMatches = true; newMessage = newMessage + EnumChatFormatting.RED + messageWords[w] + EnumChatFormatting.RESET + " "; break; } } if (!wordMatches) { newMessage = newMessage + messageWords[w] + " "; } } if (sendOriginal) { event.setCanceled(false); } else { event.setCanceled(true); Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer .addChatMessage(new ChatComponentText(newMessage.trim())); System.out.println(message); } } } Is there a better way than to replace the entire chat message? Thanks! PS: i'm not too experienced in java/forge modding and im still learning ;P.
