Send chat message to player

[DarkEyeDragon]

So i'm trying to display a message to the player. I used 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.sendChatMessage("");

But that just makes the player say it.

How would i make the player only receive the message?

(This is not on a command btw)

player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("This is sendmessage example string."));

EntityPlayer::sendMessage(ITextComponent)

I'm confused on how to use this? I tried a few things but havent managed to get it to work yet.

Is there any documentation on the ITextComponent somewhere?

In more recent versions of the API, your code may look look this:  

 

String message = "You picked up this item!";
ITextComponent msg = new StringTextComponent(message);
PlayerEntity player = Minecraft.getInstance().player;
player.sendMessage(msg, player.getUUID());

It kinda seems a little worse to me to have to put in the UUID like that even you you have access to the player, but I'm sure they had a good reason to change it up.
