✅ | Text input field maximum length

Text input field maximum length - the default is set to 10,000 characters, but when I paste in

[
  {
    "seat": 1,
    "playerName": "1. Player One",
    "id": "virgin"
  },
  {
    "seat": 2,
    "playerName": "2. Player Two",
    "id": "fortuneteller"
  },
  {
    "seat": 3,
    "playerName": "3. Player Three",
    "id": "spy"
  },
  {
    "seat": 4,
    "playerName": "4. Player Four",
    "id": "imp"
  },
  {
    "seat": 5,
    "playerName": "5. Player Five",
    "id": "soldier"
  }
]

it stops at "seat": 4, "playerNa (292 characters) - and stops in the same place if I change the limit to 100,000 or 1,000,000 etc.

If I remove all the whitespace/new lines it stops at "5.PlayerFive","id": which is 256 characters, which doesn't seem like it can be a coincidence.

Hi! Please first select which type of question you want to ask:

• "Normal Question" is enough for most questions. If you are unsure, you should choose this mode. It provides quick and accurate answers to your questions and problems.
• "Complex Task" is for very complex questions and multi-step tasks. For example, questions involving complex action script, requirement, or placeholder logic. Normal users will almost never need this. Getting answers takes much longer here.

It is not possible for anybody to send messages in this thread before selecting a mode.

Selected mode: 💬 Normal Question

Hmm, that doesn’t match the documented behavior 📄🤔

From the docs, FancyMenu’s Text Input Field supports a configurable maximum length, but there’s no documented 256-character hard cap. So if it always stops at exactly 256 chars, that sounds more like a bug or another hard limit somewhere rather than the setting you changed.

Please do these checks first:

1. Make sure you’re on the latest builds of:

   • FancyMenu
   • Konkrete
   • Melody
   • your mod loader
   • and Fabric API too, if you’re on Fabric

2. Test it with only FancyMenu + its dependencies installed.

3. Send me your /logs/latest.log from right after reproducing it, so I can check what’s going on in the log 🧾

If it still cuts off at 256 with only FancyMenu + dependencies, then it’s most likely a FancyMenu bug and you should report it here:
FancyMenu GitHub

If you want, send the log and I’ll take a look 👀

I'm using fancymenu 3.7.0 - it appears to work as expected in 3.9.1. Which version was it fixed in?

[idle barn]

Yep, I can confirm only this much from what we have: it works in 3.9.1, so it was fixed sometime between 3.7.0 and 3.9.1 ✅

But I can’t tell the exact version it was fixed in from the docs alone, so I don’t want to guess 🙈

Best practical answer: if you want the fix, update to 3.9.1 or newer.

If you want, I can also help you figure out whether there were any other breaking changes between those versions 👀
