Hi guys! I want to add some tooltips to my new blocks. I already did this on the Items with this method:

 

 

        @Override
        public void addInformation(ItemStack itemstack, EntityPlayer player, List list, boolean par4)
        {
                list.add("Some Information");
        }

 

 

 

The same method doesn't work for the blocks, of course. I searched the Block.java for similar methods, but I ended up with nothing. I know that adding tooltips to blocks IS possible, see Factorization. Now, how can I do this?

 

Thanks in advance

What List class did you import?

I imported java.util.List for the items.

Hey!

 

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago, but discovered that if you register your block as if it had metadata, then in your ItemBlock.java you can add the item lore.

 

To register your block:

GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockCustom, ItemBlockCustom.class, "YourMod.BlockCustom";

 

In your ItemBlockCustom.java file:

@Override
public void addInformation(ItemStack itemstack, EntityPlayer player, List list, boolean par4)
{
      list.add("Some Information");
}

I wrote this code from memory, so it may not be correct. It should point you on the right track though

 

Hope this helped!

Thanks, that was exactly right! (I don't really feel like making new classes only for Information but oh, well....)
