So, in addInformation, I'm trying to get a block's translated name.  This is what I've been trying:

 

list.add(StatCollector.translateToLocal("Bound Block: " + StatCollector.translateToLocal(Block.getBlockById(stack.stackTagCompound.getInteger(tagID)).getUnlocalizedName())));

 

But this is still returning tile.xxx.name, and getLocalizeName just subtracts the ".name".  What is the correct method for doing this?

Use Block#getLocalizedName().

Im still getting names like tile.sand.name with getLocalizedName(), with or without the StatCollector.translateToLocal.

That should return the correct localized name. (Don't use StatCollector for that; It is already localized)

It seems that forge couldn't find your lang file or your lang file does not contain the exact name.

So please post where your lang files are, and the contents of them.

src\main\resources\assets\filltool\lang\en_US.lang

 

 

itemGroup.FillTab=Fill Tool
item.fillTool.name=Fill Tool

 

 

I don't see how my lang file is the issue here, shouldn't that be an issue with Minecraft's lang file since we're talking about vanilla blocks?

 

 

Woah that's weird, yeah guess there is some issue in the dev workspace, I just put it on my server, and it translates fine

Oh it was vanilla block. What block do you want to show?

And please post your current code of the item.

Any block the player right clicks on.  Like I said though, it was only failing to translate in the dev workspace, it works fine after it's built.

For client, there's I18n. Use format() with unlocalized name...

IntelliJ, I add

 

 

idea { module { inheritOutputDirs = true } }
sourceSets { main { output.resourcesDir = output.classesDir } }

 

 

to the end of the build.gradle, import it, run setupDecompWorkspace inside IntelliJ, then run gradlew gIR from a command prompt.

 

PS I should also note, it's giving me translated names for some blocks, and not others in the dev workspace, like sand and dirt are never translated, but grass and leaves are.

Yet, it's not.

 

 

I have both because the second one's left over from the first tutorial I read on the setup.
