Hi! I created my first Forge mod, but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't really know what I was supposed to do, honestly this seems a bit easy, that's why I think I'm doing something completely wrong. So there's this ExampleMod.java file, which I edited, and first added a ClientChatEvent to detect a message and cancel it, also write something to the player, and then that didn't work so I tried ServerChatEvent, still doesn't work.
These are the first 4 lines of the code:

@EventHandler
    public void onChat(ServerChatEvent e) {
        mc.player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("Hello there!"));
        System.out.println("MSG DETECTED");

It just doesn't do anything. Help is appreciated !

Show where you register your event handler.

This could be the thing I'm missing.. How do I register it?

    public class MyForgeEventHandler {
        @SubscribeEvent
        public void onChat(ServerChatEvent e) {
            mc.player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("Hello there!"));
            System.out.println("MSG DETECTED");
            if (e.getMessage().equals(".help")) {
                e.setCanceled(true);

                mc.player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("Hello there!"));
            }
        }
    }

Still not working. What am I doing wrong?

You're not showing where the handler is registered, you're just showing the subscribed event.

Go back and read the doc page about registering the event handler again.

Oh thanks, I found it, and it's working now! ?
