addInformation method help!

[Toxic_Herobrine]

Hello, Im fairly new to modding, heres what I have so far for my items lore:

 

public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4) {
      par3List.add("Herobrines sword.");
      par3List.add("Press shift for more info");
      if(GuiScreen.isShiftKeyDown()){
      par3List.add("Damage mob: Instant kills any mob with life of 10 hearts");
      par3List.add("Ability: Smoke screen for pvp.");
      par3List.add("Upgrade: none (W.I.P)");
}
   }

I would like to know how can I make the "Press shift for more info" Disapear on more info is shown, please note im not good with java I really only want an answer that can fix my problem with only editing in the item class file.

if(GuiScreen.isShiftKeyDown()){
//...
}
else {
    par3List.add("Press shift for more info");
}

 

?

 

I mean come on...

Thankyou! I know, my java knowledge is low but im learning. also, I know lua and vb and c# so now I know its like that in java, I won't need help, I thought of that to, but I got an error because of the arguments. thanks again.

You don't check if the key is being held at first-

@Override
    public void addInformation(ItemStack itemStack, EntityPlayer player, List list, boolean par3) {
        if(GuiScreen.isShiftKeyDown()){
            list.add("Damage mob: Instant kills any mob with life of 10 hearts");
            list.add("Ability: Smoke screen for pvp.");
            list.add("Upgrade: none (W.I.P)");
        }else{
            list.add("Herobrines sword.");
            list.add("Press shift for more info");
        }
    }

Yea, java is a bit more complicated to me, but more I get to know it, it seems alot like c#, may just be imo but thanks for the quick replys.

Hey, I know I asked a really dumb question last night but, I used the method provided by @Draco18s but, Its not working now, when I add the method and test it its just a blank space, there's no change to the code given to me, it worked last night but now, it won't even show the lore thats default when not pushing shift. just a blank spot where it should be.

if this is a known issue or a bug and you know a fix please reply or pm me.

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

if(GuiScreen.isShiftKeyDown()){

      par3List.add("Damage to mobs: 15 Hearts");

      par3List.add("Ability: Sharpened edge");

}

else {

    par3List.add("Crafted from the raw essence of gods");

    par3List.add("Press shift");

}

}

That would work.

 

Ok ok, Ima be honest, I *used* MCreator most of the time for the basic class files to be made easily, now I use eclipse.

but the problem is I pasted that in. and its just blank then shift makes it all blank where it would be, I get no errors.

so Ima post the whole code below, but please don't make fun of me for using mcreator, Im now just learning java and its methods/reference's.

 

Code:
