Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.
This is an automated comment on any open or reopened issue with out-of-date affected versions.
The following is based on a decompiled version of MC 1.12 using MCP 9.40pre-1.
In the method net.minecraft.client.gui.GuiScreen.drawHoveringText() there is for-loop through all hover-text lines in which the game checks if itis currently processing the first line. If it is, it adds a 2px gap between the next lines. It does that because a item tooltip should have a bigger gap between its title and its lores, this shouldn't be done with all tooltips which have multiple entries though.
int i2 = y - 12;
// ...
for (int k1 = 0; k1 < textLines.size(); ++k1)
{
String s1 = textLines.get(k1);
this.fontRendererObj.drawStringWithShadow(s1, (float)l1, (float)i2, -1);
// This is the if-statement adding 2px to the y-coordinates of the following lines
if (k1 == 0)
{
i2 += 2;
}
i2 += 10;
}There are many ways to fix this issue. One would be to add a boolean called "header" to the method arguments of drawHoveringText() and check if this boolean is set to true when the first entry is rendered. But this has of course to be decided by a Mojangsta. 🙂
This is how the player list looks like with the gap disabled/if-statement skipped.
[media]I suspect this 2px wide gap is intended for item tooltips only, other types of tooltips shouldn't be affected by that imo.
I just checked and found out that item tooltips are indeed the reason for this if-statement.
I'll edit my comment, thanks. @unknown
Confirmed.
