Item tooltip doesn't display the superscript '2' correctly.

I have an item tooltip with

"§20.5% ²³⁵U, 77% ²³⁸U"

and the superscript number 2 gets blown up.
I would prefer all superscript numbers to have the same size.

Any idea how to achieve this?

Its less that it's not being displayed correctly as it is that the superscript-2 and the superscript-all-the-other-numbers are handled by different Unicode endpoints which all correspond to different textures.

 

The superscript 2 is probably 0xb2, which is handled by the main minecraft texture pack for ASCII characters (0-255) while the superscript 5 would have to be 0x2075, which is handled down in the extended Unicode support textures, which have a different look and feel to them as they aren't hand-made.

 

Superscript 3 should be 0xb3 and on the same texture sheet as the 2, but its possible that it was never given the Minecraft-look?

 

Went digging into those graphics. The 2 you're getting is....not the 2 from 0xb2

I don't know where its coming from.

A semi relevant question, I didn't feel like creating a new thread for it:


Is it possible to insert subscript and superscript in the same character without having to create a custom renderer for it it?

Yeah, I don't think you can do that with native unicode. I've gone through the list of Unicode Combining Characters pretty thoroughly (combining characters are also used as diacritical marks, but the important thing to know is that they will draw in the same space as the previous character) and there aren't any super/sub script characters that are also combining characters.

 

And oh yeah, writing the renderer for combining characters is a bitch (it gets worse if you want to display it in a selectable text area, too and handle selections and cursor location, etc etc). Minecraft doesn't support it natively at all.

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.  
    • Crashes the server when trying to start. Error code -1. Log
