Chat Table Builder

Utility class for building chat tables. This is used to create tables in chat with a fluent API. It provides methods for adding rows and columns, and it will automatically handle the formatting of the table.

ChatTableExample.java

package com.example.chat;

import dev.matthiesen.matthiesen_core.common.utility.chat.ChatTableBuilder;
import net.minecraft.server.level.ServerPlayer;

public class ChatTableExample {
  public static void sendToPlayer(ServerPlayer player) {
    ChatTableBuilder tableBuilder = new ChatTableBuilder("Example Table");

    tableBuilder.addSection("Section 1");

    tableBuilder.addRow("Row 1", "Value 1");
    tableBuilder.addRow("Row 2", "Value 2");

    tableBuilder.addSection("Section 2");

    tableBuilder.addRow("Row 3", "Value 3");
    tableBuilder.addRow("Row 4", "Value 4");

    player.sendSystemMessage(tableBuilder.build());
  }
}

Custom Formatting Settings

ChatTableBuilder also allows you to customize the formatting of the table. You can set the column widths, row heights, and other formatting options.

ChatTableExample.java

package com.example.chat;

import dev.matthiesen.matthiesen_core.common.utility.chat.ChatTableBuilder;
import net.minecraft.ChatFormatting;
import net.minecraft.server.level.ServerPlayer;

public class ChatTableExample {
  public static void sendToPlayer(ServerPlayer player) {
    ChatTableBuilder tableBuilder = new ChatTableBuilder("Example Table", getCustomFormatting());

    tableBuilder.addSection("Section 1");

    tableBuilder.addRow("Row 1", "Value 1");
    tableBuilder.addRow("Row 2", "Value 2");

    player.sendSystemMessage(tableBuilder.build());
  }

  public static ChatTableBuilder.Formatting getCustomFormatting() {
    ChatFormatting title = ChatFormatting.GOLD;
    ChatFormatting sectionLabel = ChatFormatting.AQUA;
    ChatFormatting rowMark = ChatFormatting.DARK_GRAY;
    ChatFormatting rowKey = ChatFormatting.YELLOW;
    ChatFormatting rowSeparator = ChatFormatting.GRAY;
    ChatFormatting rowValue = ChatFormatting.WHITE;

    return new ChatTableBuilder.Formatting(title, sectionLabel, rowMark, rowKey, rowSeparator, rowValue);
  }
}
