I want to Have my item say in lore some things like other items in other mods do, how can i do this?

 

thanks for any response

Override

Item#addInformation

to add the desired tooltip lines to the

List<String>

argument.

It doesn't seem to work for me, i'm probably doing something wrong:

 

public List<String> description = new ArrayList();

public EnumActionResult onItemUse(EntityPlayer player, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumHand hand, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
description.add("plz work");	
this.addInformation(player.getHeldItem(hand), player, description, true);
return super.onItemUse(player, worldIn, pos, hand, facing, hitX, hitY, hitZ);

 

when i use the item, it still does nothing

That's not at all what I told you to do.

 

You need to override

Item#addInformation

and add tooltip lines to the

List<String>

argument, not create a

List<String>

field and add tooltip lines to it in a completely different method.

Sorry for being stupid, now works
