Text Component (Data Type)

A String, Array, or Object used for displaying text with formatting, translations, keybinds, and the other Minecraft JSON-text features. Accepts everything vanilla’s text component format accepts.

Auto-fallback translation keys#

If a power omits the name or description field, Apoli falls back to the auto-generated translation key:

Field	Auto key
name	power.<namespace>.<path>.name
description	power.<namespace>.<path>.description

For example, a power at data/mymod/powers/fly.json with no name field is displayed as power.mymod.fly.name. Add this key to a language file in a resource pack to translate it.

Examples#

"name": "This is an example text string!"

A plain string.

"name": {
    "text": "This is an example text string with a fancy color!",
    "color": "yellow"
}

A coloured component.

"name": [
    "Press ",
    { "keybind": "key.attack" },
    " to attack!"
]

A composite component built from a list — formatting on the first element inherits to the rest.

"name": {
    "translate": "power.mymod.fly.name"
}

An explicit translation key. Equivalent to omitting the field entirely (when the auto-key matches the power’s id).
