[1.14.4] Need help with item tooltips .

[Vevilion]

Hello, I'm trying to add a custom item tooltip for my item but I have no idea why it isn't working. 1.14.4 really has been a pain with all the new changes.

 

public class wooden_shears extends ShearsItem {

    public wooden_shears() {
        super(new Item.Properties()
                .maxStackSize(1)
                //.defaultMaxDamage(-1)
                .group(ItemGroup.TOOLS));
        setRegistryName("wooden_shears");

    }
    @OnlyIn(Dist.CLIENT)
    public void  info (ItemStack stack, PlayerEntity player, List list, boolean bool){
        list.add(ChatFormatting.DARK_RED + "Test");
    }
}

 Thank you in advance.

1. Do not name your class with lower cases. The convention is to camel case and capitalize the first letter.

2. Your info method does nothing as of now. You need to override Item#addInformation instead.

And where do I do that and how? I'm new to this so most of the time I have no idea of what I'm doing haha

Camel case. As in a camel has humps. Like ClassNamesWithCapitals.

You wrote a function with the name "info." If you put the @Override annotation on it, Eclipse (or IntelliJ) will tell you to remove the annotation because you're not overriding anything. You need to be overriding addInformation. If you go to a blank line and hit ctrl-space and type "addInformation" and hit enter, your IDE will create an overridden function for you.
