[1.12.2] "Toasts" Documentation [Solved]

[ModMCdl]

I'm having trouble trying to find any info on implementing custom toast messages in 1.12.2 (ie. the advancements/crafting messages in top right corner). I've skimmed through the docs but I can't seem to find any info there. Could someone possibly provide links to documentation/tutorials or source that implements these? Or just point me in the right direction? 

 

Thanks.

If you just want to display an achievement-like info box, 1.12.x has now generalized system into so-called toasts. You can implement the IToast interface and display it using MInecraft#getToastGui().add(IToast). This way you do not need this "fake achievement" just to display a box.

I understand what they are. I didn't say anything about "fake achievements." You didn't even answer my question. I know there's a way to do it, I know there's an interface to use. Where do I call this method?

He did answer your question and even gave you the code.

 

Regarding "documentation" in general, you really just need to look at the source code and see how it works for similar vanilla behavior. Some big topics like blockstates have official documentation, and many people like myself try to write tutorials, but honestly we really all just figure it out by reading the source directly.
