Okay, so, I'm trying to add descriptions/information/tooltips to my items.

 

I know I need to use addInformation, but it doesn't seem to be working.

 

I've tried

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
    {
        par3List.add("hello");
    }

 

and

 

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
    {
        par3List.add(this.description());
    }
    
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public String description()
    {
    	return "Hello";
    }

 

as different ways of adding the string

I've tried it with and without @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

but the tooltip/information doesn't seem to be showing up

 

am I missing something?

Well, you don't need the @SideOnly and have you tried a straight String?  Try:

list.add("This is Test");

Crap, I copied the code over wrong, the first bit of code was meant to just be a straight String.

 

But yeah, I've tried it as a straight string, and without the @SideOnly, none of them seem to work

Did you try adding a @Override over the addInformation method to make sure you are using the right method?

What import are you using ?

... It was the import

I was using import java.awt.List; instead of import java.util.List;

 

Thanks for the help
