[1.14.4] Adding TextComponents to written book GUI

[Differentiation]

Hey!

 

I wanna open a written book GUI with text that has ActionEvent and HoverEvent (to use ITextComponent). However, the NBT only accepts String.

Is there any way I can do this?

 

Thanks

Yes. There should be helper methods in the book class (or another class) for writing this data. You can also look at json generators like this Minecraft Book Editor and Minecraft Json (Click on the Book button).

Which methods exactly? I'm not seeing any

TextFormatting works for the NBT, I just don't know how to add action and hover events for certain words

I would say look at EditBookScreen and ReadBookScreen for how the data gets displayed and then reverse engineer it from there. The json generators should help you get the syntax and stuff right. You can use this knowledge to make your own helper methods if none exist.
