[1.7.10] What is best/proper way to use chat styles?

Featured Replies

Posted

I can use chat components successfully, doing things like making them clickable, translating from lang, etc.  However, I feel like I'm not necessarily doing it properly (it seems overly complex) and I'm still confused about some points.

 

First part then is: are there pre-existing styles (like for bold or colors)?

 

Next, can you combine the styles in any way (other than inside a custom style, I mean if you had two ChatStyles can you combine them)?  If you want bold and underlined, for example?

 

As far as I can tell, the answer to both questions is "no".  You need to edit the style for each chat component you are using. 

 

Lastly, what is the "parent" thing about in the ChatStyle class?  There is a field referencing parent, and there are comments talking about children and such.  I don't really get that.

If you are translating from lang, you can do formatting codes with § (a section symbol) followed by a letter or number before the message. Yes, you can mix them. Heres a list of formatting codes.

Thanks.  I actually do that at times and perhaps it is the better way to go.

 

But I'm talking the use of the ChatStyle class specifically.
