Adding a Tip

Modpacks

Modpacks can add new tips by editing the config/tips.cfg file. Each line in the customTips section will be added as a tip that can be displayed. It is also possible to add a custom title for your tip by adding #SPLIT# followed by your title to the end of the text.

    # A list of custom tips added by the user or modpack. [default: ]
    S:customTips <
        This line of text will show up as a new tipe.
        This line of text is another seperate tip.
	This tip will have a custom title in game.#SPLIT#Custom TIP
     >

Mod Authors

Mod authors can add tips by simply adding entries to their en_US.lang file. This mod will scan all language files and build an appropriate list of tips. The expected translation key is mods.tips.your_modid.1. To add more tips simply increment the number at the end. It is important to keep these numbers sequential, for example if you skip 4 but have a 5, 6, and 7, the mod will stop loading at 3.

Modpack authors can disable all tips detected this way by setting allowDefaultTips to false in the config.
