How to use unlocalized strings other than on item / block names?

[Insane96MCP]

I would like to have item information with addInformation() but have it localized.

I've tried with

tooltip.add(ChatFormatting.DARK_PURPLE + "descr.bonus.hoe");

but is not working

Which requires you to the color code in your lang file, remove it.

To make it have colors you put § + a number in front of the 'translation'.

Either use a TextComponentTranslation or translate using I18n.

Wrong. Tooltip entries are not translated when displayed, you have to do it yourself.

But still, if he would pass it as a string to translate he would have to remove that, or make them seperate

No.

 

tooltip.add(TextFormatting.LIGHT_PURPLE + I18n.format("tooltip:oreflowers:indicator"));

Oh no, the horror of having to use a + and concatenate a string!

Thanks everyone. I18n did the job. Another small question. How can I add a space after a string in the lang file? Like

tooltip.item.base_info=This is an OP sword <-Space

Seems like minecraft doesn't recognize the space.

Nevermind. I'm stupid. ^

The same question goes for a space after the equal (=)

tooltip.item.base_info= This is an OP sword

In this case, minecraft doesn't recognize the string at all.

 

I had to do

tooltip.add(I18n.format("tooltip.item.base_info") + " ");

and

tooltip.add(" " + I18n.format("tooltip.item.base_info"));

but I don't think that is a neat solution

You should't need to have spaces at the beginning of your translation. Do not ever add translations together in code, always do it via the language file with placeholders.

Oh, forgot about placeholders.

There's any convention I should use for placeholders?

Not sure what you mean.

Nevermind. Found out that I can use %d / %s / ... and the parameters parameter in I18n.format()
