[solved]Add text to inventory item tooltip?

[CountNoobula]

Hi all,

 

As the title states, I am trying to add text to the tooltip that appears when you hover over an item in the inventory.

I have done a fair bit of Googling, but can't seem to find a clean demonstration or tutorial of how to do it.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Override
public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List) {
    par3List.add("Whatever string you want to display here");
}

 

Which you probably could have figured out by looking at the classes of any item that displays tooltip information.  Like ItemRecord.

For mod items, that works great!

 

However, I have an array of information, basically for each item I have some text that I need it to display to the user. Think how Thaumcraft show's their icons over an item (bad example considering I just want to add some text to the general tooltip)

I have figured how to do individual item rendering, but well, again, that is just for mod items, and that permanently displays instead of only when I hover over it ;/

 

To elaborate with an example, I need to have the word 'Burnable' in the Birch log tooltip

Taking a look at Thaumcraft's source (JD GUI is awesome) I can't figure out how everything works, but it looks like he has a general look-up function that takes an item ID and checks it against various recipes (arcane, crucible, etc.) and generates a list of essence types (stored as a list of Enum values).

 

For something more like adding "burnable" to it, ASM might be your best bet.

 

Note: the Reflections API is not for the faint of heart.

I'm very familiar with reflection, sadly not with ASM, thanks though, I'll go look into that Thanks for the help Draco18s!

There is an ItemTooltipEvent now, you might want to use that.

Just to show how unfamiliar I am:

I was pretty sure they referred to the same thing. @..@

Oh sweet, how about that.
