[1.11.2] Illegal characters in chat quick question

I was so tired that I accidentally used sendChatMessage(String) instead of sendMessage(ITextComponent) which is what I really needed. (I know, programming while tired is not a good move) However, it surprised me that one cannot use color codes for sendChatMessage as they get filtered and the § character is treated as disallowed. The offender will get disconnected with the message: "Illegal characters in chat" on the screen.

 

Would anyone happen to know of reasons for why sending chat messages with color is disallowed? I don't need to broadcast chat messages with color. I just need to display a colored message to the player performing an action and because said messages can display many times per player it would flood the chat if it is broadcasted. So I'm okay with sendMessage. I mean, imagine if I have 100 players online and at least 50 decide to perform a message displaying action at the same time or with 1-3 seconds of difference. It would be awful for all players to see 50 messages in such a short amount of time flooding their chat.

 

Still, it made me curious as to why it is not allowed to use sendChatMessage with color. (Nothing occurs to me, I hope I am not touching a sensitive subject here, it's just curiosity)

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
