# Chat Message Library

I was annoyed that there was no [`java.lang. StringBuilder`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/StringBuilder.html) equivalent for `net.minecraft.text. Text`, so I decided to build my own.

## For Users;

This is a library mod, and does not add anything to the game on its own.\ Download the mod and drop it in your `.minecraft/mods/` folder.\ This mod also requires (https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) to work.

## For Developers;

To use the library, add this to your `build.gradle`, `gradle.properties`, and your mod's `ModInitializer` class respectively:

`build.gradle`: ```groovy repositories { maven { url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven" } }

dependencies { modApi include("maven.modrinth:chatmsglib:${project.cml_version}") } ``` `gradle.properties`: ```properties # This may be out of date!! cml_version=1. 1 ``` Your `ModInitializer`: ```java public class YourMod implements ModInitializer { public static final ChatMessage CML = new ChatMessage(); / This text is generated at startup and is held until server stop To send it, use "msg::send", "msg.send(PlayerEntity)", or "msg.send(CommandContext)" You can also modify it on the fly by adding more text / private static final ChatMessage msg = CML .header("This is always be displayed at the top of the message", Formatting. AQUA) .footer("This is always be displayed at the bottom of the message", Formatting. BOLD, Formatting. BLUE) .literal("Just a literal string, nothing special", Formatting. BLUE) .literal("Option for an \"on\" statement as well", new ClickEvent(ClickEvent. Action. RUN_COMMAND, "/help")) .object( // A List turned into Text form new IntList(yourInts) // No spaces are added for Prefixes and Suffixes and must be added manually! .prefix("What comes before the number is printed ") .suffix(" What comes after the number is printed") .create()) .object( // A JsonObject turned into Text form new JsonList(yourJson) .prefix("- ") .indent(1) .create() ) .object( // All text added to this object will display on the same line new Singleton() .add(Text.literal("Singletons are used to display text in one line only")) .add( Text.literal("Also, commands in-line as well") .styled(style -> style.withClickEvent( new ClickEvent(ClickEvent. Action. RUN_COMMAND, "/help") )) ) .create() ) .object( / You can create your own lists by extending xyz.blurple.chatmsglib.list. ChatList It has to output List, everything else is your choice! */ new YourList(yourInput) .prefix("= ") .create() );

@Override public void onInitialize() { // This command simply prints out msg with the formatting you chose CommandRegistrationCallback. EVENT.register((dispatcher, registryAccess, environment) -> dispatcher.register( CommandManager.literal("your_command") .executes(msg::send) ) ); } } ```

If you have a request or issue with the library, make an issue, and I'll take a shot at adding it.\ Feel free to do anything you like with this code; fork, learn, whatever you like.
