[1.7.10]Item Tooltip?

[BuddingDev]

They say I should add

public void addInformation(ItemStack, EntityPlayer, List, Boolean){List.add("Stuff");}

for item tooltip in the item class.

But then the expected tooltip did not show up in the game...

Can anyone help? It may help others as well.

Did you put the @Override annotation on it?  What does it say when you do?

[BuddingDev]

@Override on:

[Eclipse: Hey you need to get addInformation() to implement or override "Supertype" (I guess it is Item type) methods. That is not good.]

EDIT: Still no tooltips.

 

@Override off:

No item tooltips.

[Draco18s]

That is not good.

 

No, it's not.  It means your method signature is wrong.

 

You'd know this if you had the prerequisite programming knowledge prior to starting modding.

[BuddingDev]

Well, my bad.

I surely did not have enough experience to start modding, but anyway...

If anyone is going to do this in future, import java.util.List, or you are screwed.

 

(Off topic:

Eclipse warned me the "type safety" stuff when trying to add tooltip lines. Is that normal?

I saw some tutorial for minecraft 1.6 tooltip, and it does not have such warning.)
