Creating subtitels

[Lexi_Noctura]

Hey!

 

I was wondering if somebody could maybe help me:
I'm pretty new in modding, in fact in programming at all, so a step-by-step or a foolproof explanation would be great!

 

I'm writing a Mod right now on Eclipse for Minecraft 1.8.9, and I want to add subtitles to some of my items/blocks. So for example instead of just saying "Brisingr" (it's going to be a mod for Eragon) I want my sword to say "Brisingr" and then in the next line, maybe in a smaller size and/or different color "Eragon's Sword".

 

Is that possible, and if so, could you explain to me how I could do that?

Thanks!!

This is the support section for those modding with Forge. Help with modding goes in here, however, please keep in mind that this is not a Java school. You are expected to have basic knowledge of Java before posting here.

1.8.9 and lower is ancient please consider updating to a newer version, there is already development on forge 1.13.

Then dont just say you're new to programming in general, it isn't clear what you mean.

For items override Item#addInformation().

For blocks override Block#addInformation().

[Lexi_Noctura]

that still doesn't tell me in which class, where i have to put it

Yes it does.

 

In order to override a method, you have to do so in a subclass of the class that defines that method.

thank you, that i can unterstand

Eragon is one of my favourite series and I’ve been thinking of making a mod for it for a while. I’m pretty good at programming in general and I think I’m doing pretty well modding minecraft, I’d love to help you make this mod. If you’d like my help, I’ll happily work with you on his mod, but you need to write it for the most recent version only Minecraft.

I’ve already solved the issue of subtitles in 2 of my mods.

I solved it by subscribing to the onItemStackTooltip event and checking if the item had an entry for a tooltip in my Lang file and if so localising that entry and displaying it right below the items name.

If they are your Item you should override addInformation in your classes instead.

I think that having 1 method (subscriber) is better than having 20 exactly the same methods in each class

Use inheritance, also that method instead of only being called for your items is called for every item, it is just not displayed because you did some type of predicate or if check.

yeah, a bunch of instanceof checks which are very fast before I do any lookups or other checks. I would use inheritance but in 19/20 cases my items are extending vanilla ones
