Override addInformation in your item class

I am not sure what I'm doing wrong with that. I tried that but I get this error:
"The method addInformation(ItemStack, EntityPlayer, List<String>, boolean) of type SiliconBlock must override or implement a supertype method" so I don't know where else I am suppose to put it

Use your IDE to override methods. Don't do it manually.

I use eclipse, it says Create 'addInformation()' in super type BlockBase or IHasModel, i assume it would be the BlockBase class?

No. Remove whatever addInformation method you already added. Now type "addInformation" in the body of your class and press ctrl-space. It will suggest to override the method for you.

Okay, I did that, eclipse added the override method, but it still refuses to show any tooltip.

@Override
    public void addInformation(ItemStack stack, World player, List<String> tooltip, ITooltipFlag advanced) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        tooltip.add("test");
        super.addInformation(stack, player, tooltip, advanced);
    }

Post more of your code. Ideally a working Git repository.
