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.

    • After some time minecraft crashes with an error. Here is the log https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o-2R6KZaC8sxjtLaw5qj0A-GkG_SuoB5/view?usp=sharing
    • The specific issue is that items in my inventory wont stack properly. For instance, if I punch a tree down to collect wood, the first block I collected goes to my hand. So when I punch the second block of wood to collect it, it drops, but instead of stacking with the piece of wood already in my hand, it goes to the second slot in my hotbar instead. Another example is that I'll get some dirt, and then when I'm placing it down later I'll accidentally place a block where I don't want it. When I harvest it again, it doesn't go back to the stack that it came from on my hotbar, where it should have gone, but rather into my inventory. That means that if my inventory is full, then the dirt wont be picked up even though there should be space available in the stack I'm holding. The forge version I'm using is 40.3.0, for java 1.18.2. I'll leave the mods I'm using here, and I'd appreciate it if anybody can point me in the right direction in regards to figuring out how to fix this. I forgot to mention that I think it only happens on my server but I'm not entirely sure. PLEASE HELP ME!

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
