I want to replace net.minecraft.util.ChatAllowedCharacters to make it possible (with checks) to enter the § symbol. How can i do this?

ASM/Core editing is not supported by Forge.

Is there any other way?

Use ClientChatEvent to catch the message being sent. Cancel the event and send a custom packet instead, which allows the characters.

Alternatively create a pull request to Forge.

Thanks

 

Darn.

"Illegal Charaters in chat"

I typed "&3hi"

Which becomes "§3hi"

package mods.giantnuker;

import java.util.List;

import com.google.common.collect.Lists;

import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ClientChatEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

@Mod(modid = ColorChatMod.MODID, version = ColorChatMod.VERSION)
public class ColorChatMod
{
    public static final String MODID = "colorchat";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    
    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
    }
    public static final char sect_sign = '§', sect_replace = '&';
	public static final List<Character> codes = Lists.newArrayList(new Character[] {'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'r'});
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void colorChat(ClientChatEvent e) {
		//if (!e.getMessage().contains(String.valueOf(sect_replace))) return;
		String msg = e.getMessage();
		char[] array = msg.toCharArray();
		for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
			if (array[i] == sect_replace && i < (array.length - 1) && codes.contains(array[i + 1])) {
				array[i] = sect_sign;
			}
		}
		e.setMessage(String.valueOf(array));
	}
}

Is there any way around this without resorting to modding the server?
