I haven't been able to find a single way to change the color of the in-game name (The text you see when you hover over an item or block).

I use the en_US.lang way of naming items since that's apparently what you have to do these days in 1.7.

 

Can somebody please at least point me to the right direction with what I should do?

What is your .setBlockName(String) set to?

 

If it's set to "copperOre", then the name should work. If it's set to "oreCopper", it won't. Your .setBlockName(String) needs to be equivalent to what is in the lang file. Check that to make sure it works (or not).

 

I was able to use '§' to change the coloring of an Item, Block, and Creative Tab, so it isn't a problem with the '§'.

Ok so My en_US.lang copper ore looks like

tile.oreCopper.name=§aCopper Ore§r

 

And I've had the block name set to .setBlockName(oreCopper);

 

And It's being registered into the game with GameRegistry.registerBlock(Stuff.oreCopper, "oreCopper");

 

I don't get why it isn't working. Unless I'm missing something I've done what you did.

 

Yet shows up like this in-game.

Is the block name set to .setBlockName(oreCopper), ore .setBlockName("oreCopper")?

 

Make sure that the parameter is a string.

Make sure you are encoding with UTF-8.

That'll do it. Also make sure your blockname and .lang file match. The screenshot under my last post shows they're not.

Could you give me an example of how I'd write it in the en_US.lang?  I've tried a number of different things. I've only ever used the \u00A7 thing in servers..

In your editor must be an option to set the encoding of that file.

This thread makes me sad because people just post copy-paste-ready code when it's obvious that the OP has little to no programming experience. This is not how learning works.

Thank you!!  That's all I needed to know! I've got it working, sorry for the trouble guys!

 

For anybody reading this in the future, set the encoding for the en_US.lang file to UTF-8 then use the Section Symbol ( § ) followed by a color code to change the color.

An example of this is " §aCopper Ore", that will result in lime green.

 

To set the encoding of the file (In eclipse) right-click it in the package explorer and go to "Properties" and you can find it there.

      Help me with registries

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      When you name a method like that, with no return value, it is a constructor. The constructor must have the same name as the class it constructs, in this case, ModItems. I would strongly advise reading up on some basic Java tutorials, because you will definitely be running into a lot more issues as you go along without the basics. *I should also add that the Forge documentation is a reference, not a tutorial. Even following tutorials, you should know Java basics, otherwise the smallest of mistakes will trip you up as you copy someone elses code.

      I merged your second post with the original , there is no need to post a new thread asking for an answer. If someone sees your post and can help, they will reply. If you are seeking a quicker response, you could try asking in the Minecraft Forge diacord.

      Cobblemon modpack keeps crashing idk why

      By TileEntity · Posted

      Create a new instance and start with cobblemon - if this works, add the rest of your mods in groups   Maybe another mod is conflicting - like Sodium/Iris or Radical Cobblemon Trainers
