I created a custom Irecipe that adds a tier upon a succesfull recipe.

 

But then comes the problem.

Now I created a the AddInformation(things) methode to display more information.

 

It just does not display.

 

public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
{
	if(par1ItemStack.hasTagCompound()){

		NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound = par1ItemStack.getTagCompound().getCompoundTag("backpack");

		if(nbttagcompound != null){

			if(nbttagcompound.hasKey("tier")){

				int tier = nbttagcompound.getInteger("tier");

				String sayTier = "Tier " + tier;
				par3List.add(sayTier);
			}
		}
	}

	String info = "info";
	par3List.add(info);
}

 

the wierd part is, "info" is not even displayed!

I'm sorry? Minecraft will get the methode as an overwritten methode.

 

In the ItemStack class the methode is called int the getToolTip mothode.

It will then get the addinformation methode from the item in the itemstack.

if the custom item does not have this methode, it will use the empty methode in the Item class.

 

btw, it did not work? I have no clue why not?

 

look at the first and the second methode!

the first one will display the information and de second not!

 

//nothing fancy here, no override, no sideonly, nothing
public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
{
  String info = EnumChatFormatting.DARK_GRAY + "A very effective melee weapon";
  String info2 = EnumChatFormatting.DARK_GRAY + "Shift-Right-Click a door to instantly smash it";

    
  par3List.add(info);
  par3List.add(info2);
    	
}
//Works great

 

@Override //<= just this!
public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
{
	if(par1ItemStack.hasTagCompound()){

		NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound = par1ItemStack.getTagCompound().getCompoundTag("backpack");

		if(nbttagcompound != null){

			if(nbttagcompound.hasKey("tier")){

				int tier = nbttagcompound.getInteger("tier");

				String sayTier = "Tier " + tier;
				par3List.add(sayTier);
			}
		}
	}

	String info = "info";
	par3List.add(info);
}
//does not display!

Java.util.List

This is also used by the first set of code from my previous post.

This is not the problem.

 

I did not say that, I was just saying that you don't need it, it is usefull to see if the methode corresponds to the methode called by the extended class.

 

With or without the @Override annotation, it does not work and I hace copied the methode over and over again from various other classes.

 

Here is the Item class:

nothing strange, no errors, registered just like other items. I just have no clue

package mefa.Items;

import java.util.List;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;

public class ItemBackpack extends Item{

public ItemBackpack()
{
	super();
	this.setMaxStackSize(1);
}

@Override
public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
{
	if(par1ItemStack.hasTagCompound()){

		NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound = par1ItemStack.getTagCompound().getCompoundTag("backpack");

		if(nbttagcompound != null){

			if(nbttagcompound.hasKey("tier")){

				int tier = nbttagcompound.getInteger("tier");

				String sayTier = "Tier " + tier;
				par3List.add(sayTier);
			}
		}
	}

	String info = "info";
	par3List.add(info);
}
}

I'm sorry, I'm just being stupid.

 

The item was a New Item instead of a New ItemBackPack

That is the reason.

 

next time I will double check every option before posting here.

gawd, I feel dumb!
