Update policy

Unless we see high demand, or we need it ourselves, we will follow the latest Minecraft version by looking at Create Fabric, as this mod is used primarily for the SnackBag Create mod server.

We try our best to not introduce breaking changes unless truly necessary. Methods will rather be marked as deprecated

Code example

NText.assemble()
    .text("[Epic Button]")
    .color(Color.RED)
    .hover("What will this do?")
    .click(ClickType.RUN, "kill @s")
    
    .text(" ")
    
    .text("[Another Button]")
    .color(Color.GREEN)
    .hover(NText.of("I suspect this won't be any better.", Color.GREEN))
    .click(ClickType.COPY, "i like trains")
    
    .build();

For reference, this is how it would look like when using vanilla code

Text.literal("[Epic Button]")
    .styled(style -> style
        .withColor(Formatting.RED)
        .withHoverEvent(new HoverEvent(
            HoverEvent.Action.SHOW_TEXT,
            Text.literal("What will this do?")
        ))
        .withClickEvent(new ClickEvent(
            ClickEvent.Action.RUN_COMMAND,
            "kill @s"
        ))
    )
    
    .append(" ")
    
    .append(Text.literal("[Another Button]")
        .styled(style -> style
            .withColor(Formatting.GREEN)
            .withHoverEvent(new HoverEvent(
                HoverEvent.Action.SHOW_TEXT,
                Text.literal("I suspect this won't be any better.")
                    .styled(s -> s.withColor(Formatting.GREEN))
            ))
            .withClickEvent(new ClickEvent(
                ClickEvent.Action.COPY_TO_CLIPBOARD,
                "i like trains"
            ))
        )
    );
