[Share] Clickable and Hoverable Chat Messages

I was curious how to do this, and I figured out how to do it myself. So I am sharing my code snippet to those who wish to do this.

Code:java

import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.ChatClickable;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.ChatHoverable;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.ChatMessage;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.ChatModifier;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.EnumClickAction;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.EnumHoverAction;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.IChatBaseComponent;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.MinecraftServer;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R3.PlayerList;

pname - This is the name of the sender.
ChatMsg - This is the chat message the player is sending.
ClickableMsg - This is what the message will send/give whenever clicked.
HoverMsg - This is the message which displays in the box when you hover over. (Note: You can only set the HoverMsg the "EnumHoverAction" is "EnumHoverAction.SHOW_TEXT"!

This method is useful for COMMANDS or HINTS. It is easily transferrable to normal chat aswell, but this method will only send a hoverable message to one player.

Code:java

    public static void printHoverable(String pname, String ChatMsg, String ClickableMsg, String HoverMsg) {
        IChatBaseComponent base;
        base = new ChatMessage(ChatMsg);
        base.setChatModifier(new ChatModifier());
        base.getChatModifier().setChatClickable(new ChatClickable(EnumClickAction.SUGGEST_COMMAND, ClickableMsg));
        base.getChatModifier().a(new ChatHoverable(EnumHoverAction.SHOW_TEXT, new ChatMessage(HoverMsg)));
        PlayerList list = MinecraftServer.getServer().getPlayerList();
        list.getPlayer(pname).sendMessage(base);
    }

Why would you ever use MinecraftServer,getServer().getPlayerList() and the PlayerList class. You are basically just importing unecessary NMS code. What you should do is have a Player parameter in the void, and at the end do p.sendMessage(base);

A better way is to use raw JSON so unnecessary volatile versioned code does not need to be depended on.

 

this same code
For 1.7.5:

Code:java

 
ChatModifier modifier = new ChatModifier();
modifier.setChatClickable(new ChatClickable(EnumClickAction.SUGGEST_COMMAND, ClickableMsg));
modifier.a(new ChatHoverable(EnumHoverAction.SHOW_TEXT, new ChatMessage(HoverMsg)));
base.setChatModifier(modifier);
