In v1.6.4, when I want to format a chat message across multiple lines, I just include a '\n' character in the string. In 1.7.2, this now renders as a special glyph rather than generating a new line. I've glanced over the code a bit and have yet to find a solution. Has anybody else figured this out?

Try out the Java String formating (do not know if it works but try it out)

 

String.format(Arguments, Your Text);

 

%s = Text to show.

%n = next Line.

 

here a example:

 

String.format("%s%n%s", "Text1", "Text2");

 

That should Print it like this:

 

Text1

Text2

 

I hope it helps,Works.

 

No, this produces the same results. String.format("foo%n") generates the string "foo\n" on my platform. I'm guess that they've done something that requires structuring chat messages with some kind of markup.

Looking further at the core commands (e.g. /help), it looks like each line has to be a sent as a separate call to ICommandSender.func_145747_a() (e.g. ICommandSender.sendChatToPlayer()). So, I simply wrote a line-breaking routine that my code calls to send chat messages:

 

public static void sendMessageToPlayer(EntityPlayer player, String message) {

    ArrayIterator<String> lines = new ArrayIterator<String>(message.split("\n"));

    while (lines.hasNext())

        player.func_145747_a(new ChatComponentText(lines.next()));

}
