Neilon

Neilon is a specialized library for Fabric designed to simplify working with Minecraft's text system. This tool provides developers with a convenient and intuitive way to create and format text elements in the game.

Main Features

The library supports all basic types of text content:

• Direct text and localized strings
• Display of key bindings
• Basic formatting (bold, italic, underlined, strikethrough, magic)
• Full color palette

Interactive Elements

Click Actions

• Execution of game commands
• Command suggestions
• Opening web links
• Copy to clipboard

Hover Events

• Display of text tooltips
• Item information
• Entity data

Convenient Working Methods

The library includes a set of useful methods for everyday development:

• Text repetition
• Working with key bindings
• Localization
• Color management

Automatic Improvements

Neilon automatically fixes common errors:

• Adds / prefix to commands when necessary
• Corrects URLs by adding https:// where required

Development Plans

Future versions plan to implement gradient text effects.

Usage 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 comparison, here's how the same code looks using vanilla API:

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"
            ))
        )
    );
