1.4.6 Item Text

You might have noticed that in 1.4.6, whenever you switch items, it displays the item's name above the hotbar.

Is it possible to put custom text there, or is it client-sided?

 

Afaik client sided, and shows the items name (confirmed)

 

Hmm lets see if this could still work by renaming the players item-in-hand...
Maybe we could
1)remove the player's hand item and set it to air
2)1 tick after put the item back, except renamed to whatever text you want to display
3) 1 tick after set it to air
4) 1 tick after restore it to the original item.

Do you think this would work?

 

I tried some stuff: you might want to change to another slot that is AIR

 

It isn't possible to change the slot the player is using though

 

Wrong.
If you change the name of the item, the name will be changed, too!

@topic:
Just rename the item and it will be displayed with the new item name.

 

Have you tested this? :3

 

Yes:

 

I ment that the displaying itself was clientsided. If you read it again, you notice I say it displays the items name ;3 (which is what you can change)

Yes it works like that
