Solved Header

Hi, made i little system to get a adjustable header :
Code:

Code:

public static String header(String text) {
    if(text.contains("&l")) {
        text = text.replace("&l", "");
    }

    int length = ChatColor.stripColor(color(text)).length();
    if((length % 2) != 0) {
        length++;
    }

    int middle = (length / 2);
    int borderlength = (27 - middle) - 1;

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for(int i = 0; borderlength > i; i++) {
        sb.append("-");
    }
    String border = "&7&m" + sb.toString() + "&r";

    return color(border + " " + text + " " + border);
}

I don't know what im doing wrong, i mean i tried with two texts but i think is not working right, because second text is not fully filled : Photo

 

It's difficult to align text like that because letters have different widths

 

@MaTaMoR_
(((length of space you want to fill) - (length of text)) ÷ 2) = number of "-' on each side.

 

(((length of space you want to fill) - (length of text)) / 2)*
Still the same

 

@MaTaMoR_ I wasn't giving Java code

Oh, I see the problem now. As @SuperOriginal said. Character width. You'd have to get a new font for it to be 100% perfect.

 

@MaTaMoR_

There's not real way to do column alignment like this in Minecraft, as the font is not monospace, which is what you call a font that abides by the assumptions you're making. Also, the support for \t (literal tab) is a little weird, although you're welcome to try that (that is the character usually used to format output from console applications).
