Hello,

I'm currently updating one of my mods from 1.8.9 to 1.9 and have been trying to figure out how to format chat messages. The 1.8.9 code I have is (in a CommandEvent event handler method):

event.sender.addChatMessage(new ChatComponentText(EnumChatFormatting.RED + "text"));

and the 1.9 code I have is:

event.getSender().addChatMessage(new TextComponentTranslation("text"));

but I'm unsure how to format the text, like making it red, because there is no EnumChatFormatting anymore and I haven't found anything similar.

Perfect, thank you very much!

Well, first of all

TextComponentTranslation

is for when you want to make the client translate what you pass in (e.g.

tile.stone.name

). Use

TextComponentString

for a constant string. To set the color red for either one:

 

component.getChatStyle().setColor(TextFormatting.RED)

 

Thank you so much
