drawtooltip rendering backdrop, but not the main 'text' part of the tooltip

[slow schooner]

I don't quite know why the text is not appearing, could it be that I need to call the method in drawForeground instead of drawBackground?

code:

    @Override
    protected void drawBackground(DrawContext context, float delta, int mouseX, int mouseY) {
        RenderSystem.setShader(GameRenderer::getPositionTexProgram);
        RenderSystem.setShaderColor(1f, 1f, 1f, 1f);
        RenderSystem.setShaderTexture(0, TEXTURE);
        int x = this.x;
        int y = this.y;
        context.drawTexture(TEXTURE, x, y, 0, 0, this.backgroundWidth, this.backgroundHeight);
        //Ruby dust amount tooltip, pretty cool!
        if ((mouseX > x + 25 && mouseX < x + 44) && (mouseY > y +37 && mouseY < y + 44)){
            context.drawItem(ModItems.RUBY_DUST.getDefaultStack(), mouseX, mouseY - 16);
            context.drawTooltip(this.textRenderer, Text.literal(String.format("     %d/%d", handler.getDustAmount(), 64)), mouseX - 8, mouseY);
        }
    }

I have tested if the values get through, and they do. It also seems to be very 'situational'.
Sometimes it renders without issue, sometimes it doesn't render at all. If anyone with more experience in Screens could help me out that would be greatly appreciated!

doesn't DrawContext have methods to draw tooltips directly?

it does

it has a bunch of drawTooltip methods

https://maven.fabricmc.net/docs/yarn-1.21+build.2/net/minecraft/client/gui/DrawContext.html#drawTooltip(net.minecraft.client.font.TextRenderer,java.util.List,net.minecraft.client.gui.tooltip.TooltipPositioner,int,int)

[slow schooner]

I am calling the drawtooltip method, that's the weird part

[mortal tendon]

wait you're calling in drawBackground

[slow schooner]

yes

I tried the foreground method, but my x and y coordinates are not exactly where they should be

[mortal tendon]

any reason why? i feel like this method would have a translated matrix stack, hence the text going back

is there no regular render method?

[slow schooner]

Oh crap I didn't even think of that

my god

[mortal tendon]

try that

[slow schooner]

I will

It does render the text, but any idea on what could be causing the itemstack to not be drawn?

I could just be drawing it before the tooltip, I'm not necessarily the best at the whole Screen thing yet

[mortal tendon]

it's there

you can barely see it

[slow schooner]

what in the world, you're right

[mortal tendon]

can you try translating the item stack across z

[slow schooner]

I presume minecraft renders it with higher Z's being closer to the screen?

[mortal tendon]

yep iirc

[slow schooner]

doesn't really appear to do much, I'm using the drawtooltip with the additional parameters of seed and z, could be that I'm doing it wrong though lol

context.drawItem(ModItems.RUBY_DUST.getDefaultStack(), mouseX + 5, mouseY - 16, 1, 10);```

[mortal tendon]

lemme check something

ok this might take a bit, my test project is broken

[slow schooner]

take your time, I'm not in a rush to get this to work as it's mostly visual

[mortal tendon]

increase z to like 280 >

[slow schooner]

281 right now

[mortal tendon]

put like 1000

[slow schooner]

weird, It's set too 1000 but still just does not render above it

Let's see if it's dependant on what you try to render since you're rendering the stack of a block

uhhh... so I guess 2D itemstack textures ignore the Z axis entirely?

[mortal tendon]

context.getMatrices().push();
context.getMatrices().translate(0,0, 280);
//context.drawItemWithoutEntity(Items.DIAMOND_SWORD.getDefaultStack(), mouseX+10, mouseY-10);
context.drawItem(Items.DIAMOND_SWORD.getDefaultStack(), mouseX+10, mouseY-10);
context.getMatrices().pop();

try this

[slow schooner]

You're a genious

[mortal tendon]

i'll tell you another way to do this

[slow schooner]

Go ahead, I'm all ears

[mortal tendon]

a bit of a hassle but i think it would be better if you ever need to add more things into that tooltip

there's a thing called TooltipComponent which allows you to fully control what's rendered within it. you can pass arbitary data into it and use it to render custom things. from what i've seen, there's no need to mess with z values since everything should be at the tooltip's z level.

the bundle tooltip uses one of those.

the annoying part is you will have to use this private method from DrawContext https://maven.fabricmc.net/docs/yarn-1.21.1+build.3/net/minecraft/client/gui/DrawContext.html#drawTooltip(net.minecraft.client.font.TextRenderer,java.util.List,int,int,net.minecraft.client.gui.tooltip.TooltipPositioner) which you'll need an accessor for

then of course you'll need to implement your own TooltipComponent. for reference you can check the bundle https://maven.fabricmc.net/docs/yarn-1.21.1+build.3/net/minecraft/client/gui/tooltip/BundleTooltipComponent.html

i do this tooltip with a component

[slow schooner]

Oof, I'm working in fabric 1.20.1, is that a thing in there as well?

guessing by the recipe book it is

the accessor thing won't be an issue, since intelliJ with the mod plugin practically autogenerates those now

[mortal tendon]

https://maven.fabricmc.net/docs/yarn-1.20.1+build.10/net/minecraft/client/gui/tooltip/BundleTooltipComponent.html

seem so

[slow schooner]

Your help is incredibly appreciated
