As far as I am aware that is a BOM(Byte Order Mark) character issue. Open your file in a text editor that allows you to change the encoding, such as Notepad++ and change the encoding to UTF-8 without BOM(obviously override the file after you've done that).

Hey sorry I figured it out for the color but not I changed the topic but it doesnt want to run

Don't remove the original question from your post. If the issue has been resolved but you have a new one just leave a new reply. Now if someone else has the BOM character issue they won't be able to find a solution by searching the forums since you have changed the title and removed the question.

Are you sure the event is being handled? As in how did you register the event handler to the bus?

Why?

RenderGameOverlayEvent

This fires multiple times for various HUD elements. You need to check the current element and only draw your text once per frame instead of once per element.

Check that the current element the event had fired for is the one you want to render your stuff after. You can get the current element from RenderGameOverlayEvent#getType

Alright. Please don't make fun of me lol but if you already don't know i'm new to coding in java. But could you go in more detail on what you mean by: RenderGameOverlayEvent#getType specifically by the # in that.

# is just a way of writing method reference in the javadocs. When I say ClassName#methodName I mean invoke the method "methodName" using an instance of class "ClassName". If the method was static I would use a dot instead of #(ClassName.methodName)

    public static final int WHITE = 0xFFFFFFFF;
    private static String text = "Test";
    private FontRenderer fontRenderer;

    public RenderGameOverlayEvent.ElementType getType()
    {
        return type;
    }
    private final RenderGameOverlayEvent.ElementType type;
    
    private void vertifyRenderer()
    {
        if (fontRenderer != null) return;
        Minecraft minecraft = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
        fontRenderer = minecraft.fontRenderer;
    }

    public MessageGui(RenderGameOverlayEvent.ElementType type) {
        vertifyRenderer();
        fontRenderer.drawString(text, 10, 20, WHITE, false);
        this.type = type;
    }

}

 

So far thats what I got

[FireIsH0t]

This isn't what V0idWa1k3r told you to do at all.

well I tried looking at the code and doing something simular

[Draco18s]

You need to GET the type FROM the EVENT and COMPARE it to a single type. What you did is ADD a function that you don't need, does nothing, and isn't even called.
