Modifying chat messages not working.

Anyone have any ideas on why this code causes an error when chat has an action on it, such as a hover event or click event? I am using ProtocolLib to modify messages being sent to a client, but get the following error when such messages arise:

Error Message (open) Error Message (close)

That error occurred when I used /say to input a message in chat, with the entity UUID as a hover effect.

Code at which the error arises:

Code:

                                do
                                {
                                    WrappedChatComponent chat = packet.getChatComponents().read(0);
                                    List<IChatBaseComponent> components = ChatSerializer.a(chat.getJson()).a();
                                    BaseComponent[] translatedComponents = ComponentSerializer.parse(chat.getJson());
                                    System.out.println(translatedComponents[0].toLegacyText());
                                    String chatMessage = colour(translatedComponents[0].toLegacyText());
                                    chatMessage = colour(chatMessage);
                                    List<String> toCheck = (List<String>) ranks.getList(String.valueOf(counter));
                                    if(chatMessage.contains(colour(toCheck.get(0))))
                                    {
                                        chatMessage = chatMessage.replace(colour(toCheck.get(0)), colour(toCheck.get(1)));
                                    }      
                                    chat = WrappedChatComponent.fromChatMessage(chatMessage)[0];
                                    packet.getChatComponents().write(0, chat);
                                    counter++;
                                } while (ranks.get(String.valueOf(counter)) != null);

I am pretty sure the error occurs on line 5 of this code, at BaseComponent[] translatedComponents. However, I am not sure of a workaround for this, personally. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Plob.

Bump: Anyone got any ideas on a solution for this? Still stuck with this problem.

I'm not a pro in this, but is it the full error showing in console?

 

@PDKnight
Yes, that is the full console error I get.

@Comphenix - Any ideas? I am using ProtocolLib to do this, and it seems like you would know that best. I did some research before and saw a post from you saying this method doesn't handle Translate components. Do you know of a way to make it handle these correctly?

Thanks, Plob.
