Description
Related to #848, there seems to be some desire to remove the common usage of audience.sendMessage(MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize("my string"))
in favour of a shorthand method for this. The MiniMessageAudience
proposed in that PR is nice, but fails to be generic enough to be useful.
I think providing a wrapper for ComponentLike
that accepts a serializer and the data to be serialized (open for extensions such as additional MiniMessage tag resolvers or context objects) would be quite nice, allowing for a replacement of the common pattern above:
// Stored centrally somewhere.
public static MiniMessageString myMiniMessageString = MiniMessage.miniMessage().createString("my string", tagResolvers);
// Sent at a later date (optionally adding additional context).
player.sendMessage(myMiniMessageString);
player.sendMessage(myMiniMessageString.withContext(player).withExtraTags(additionalTags));
