Link markdown

[sour charm]

trying to use the link shortener markdown in a mini message, the link is shortened but can't click it. Is there something I'm missing that's preventing me from doing so?

<underlined><click:OPEN_URL:mylinkhere>Link 1</click></underlined>

[restive rain]

try [URL] https://url-here.com

[sour charm]

unless I did it wrong, it didnt work

[restive rain]

i feel like the above thing i sent is for clicking an item in a menu

[restive rain]

what are you trying to do? can you share the snippet of menu?

[sour charm]

for voting I am trying to click an item in a menu, then outputs Link 1, 2, 3, 4, etc in a list where you can click the "Link 1" and brings you to first vote site

[restive rain]

why not just make the item send the link in chat?

[message] <https://link1>

[sour charm]

because I wanna make them send all at once and links are all different sizes and its not neat

[restive rain]

im not sure but u can try adding /n or \n after the link and the text after that will be sent in new line

or you can add multiple actions

[message] <https://link2>
[message] <https://link3>
[message] <https://link4>
[message] <https://link5>```

use [minimessage] <https://link5> for minimessage format

[sour charm]

well yea I understand how to do it like that, but its still super disorganized and not clean. Even if you were to use the line break to shove the url to another line.

[restive rain]

looks like its working

[sour charm]

yea, as I said in my initial post it gets shortened. Once you put an actual link instead of "mylinkhere" you can't click it

[restive rain]

uh

wait i dont understand can you provide screenshots

[winter folio]

that's not even a thing?

where did you see that?

[restive rain]

wait let me check my history

[winter folio]

send the whole MiniMessage that doesn't work

[sour charm]

- '[minimessage] <underlined><click:OPEN_URL:https://example.com>Link 1</click></underlined>'

[restive rain]

oh yes thats something from deluxechat, didnt see it, my bad.

[winter folio]

that may be because of the :

try putting the link within ""

[sour charm]

same thing, shortened but cant click it

[restive rain]

r u using any custom client

[winter folio]

which DeluxeMenus version are you on?

[restive rain]

i feel like the web links setting in minecraft might be disabled

[sour charm]

most recent, just downloaded it a few hours ago

[winter folio]

I'll try when I get on my pc

[sour charm]

lunar, but I have a vanilla launcher open as well and its the same results

[restive rain]

wait try this
send a link into chat and try to click it

oh wait

nono

.

/tellraw @p {"text":"link 1","clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"https://link1"},"hoverEvent":{"action":"show_text","contents":["Click to open the link"]}}

type this command and check if it works

[restive rain]

if we somehow use this tellraw command as a console command and add it into actions, it might work out

but the thing is, it should work with minimessage format

[sour charm]

does the tellraw text formatting not work through console?

[restive rain]

it should

try this
/tellraw @p {"text":"link 1","bold":true,"italic":true,"clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"https://link1"},"hoverEvent":{"action":"show_text","contents":["Click to open the link"]}}

[winter folio]

worked fine for me

[sour charm]

yea, just doesn't for me. I even tried a whole other menu and adding just 1 minimessage and it just pastes it in chat properly but can't click it still.

this does work however, I can see the format and click the link in chat

but kinda inconvenient lol

as I have 0 idea on how to edit the format to what I want

[restive rain]

tru

[restive rain]

.

yey

[sour charm]

so then were exactly could I go to ask questions about what I am doing wrong with this then lol

[winter folio]

wdym?

[sour charm]

well I got what I needed from the site, can click both links, but weird symbol pops up?

tellraw %player_name% ["",{"text":"Link 1","underlined":true,"clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"https://example.net"}},{"text":" \u0020 \u0020 \u200b"},{"text":"Link2","underlined":true,"clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"https://example2.net"}}]

[winter folio]

probably the \u0020 characters?

no idea why they are here but try removing them

[sour charm]

yea it was but I had wanted them for spacing between the 2 links but I replaced the \u200b with a \u0020 and works fine now lol

[winter folio]

okay, spaces should have worked though

[sour charm]

is there anyway I can create space at the beginning without messing up the command part? Like center the text it outputs?

- '[console] tellraw %player_name% ["",{"text":"Link 1","underlined":true,"clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"https://example.net"}},{"text":" \u0020 \u0020 \u0020"},{"text":"Link2","underlined":true,"clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"https://example2.net"}}]'

[winter folio]

add spaces in front of Link 1

can't you do it in the editor?

[sour charm]

uhm well, you see, I didn't think of that LOL

just woke up so my apologies

[winter folio]

it's fine 😅

though I do find it weird that the editor writes \u0020 (the unicode for the space character) instead of actual spaces

replacing them by actual spaces should be fine tho

[sour charm]

idk, same, but it works, im happy, so not touching it lol

[winter folio]

fair enough

[sour charm]

but yea idk the spaces before link 1 isnt doing anything?

[winter folio]

then I guess try with \u0020

I don't see why it wouldn't work without regular spaces but eh

this game is cursed

[sour charm]

ok finally got it all to work, unfortunate for the minimessage way. Thank you all for all the support I appreciate it
