Syntax

[a] [new] (text|rawtext) component[s] (from|of) %strings%

Description

Create a new text component. Can add hover/click events to it.

**Types:** Text: Just a plain old text component from a string. Rawtext: Same as text, but color codes will be visible. Keybind: Will use Minecraft's keybind system. Translate: Will use Minecraft's lang file keys. - You can find these in your Minecraft jar `assets/minecraft/lang/<lang file>.json`. - Also supports getting translations for objects such as ItemTypes, Entities and PotionEffectTypes. - When sent to the client, the client will translate based on the lang they've picked. - Some lang file entries take in other arguments, that's what the optional `using args %objects%` is for. - Optionally you can add a fallback, this is the text sent to the client if the client cannot find the translation key.

Json: Will deserialize a json string back into a component. - Minecraft stores components in NBT as json components (ex: name of a held item).
