UUID Support Information

Frank Wu edited this page Apr 4, 2016 · 4 revisions

This page describes how UUID support was done in LockettePro.

Background
Since 1.8, Signs in Minecraft can hold more than 15 characters. Since then, all signs uses ChatComponent instead of a string. Even signs do not have a character limit, those characters that does not fit will not be displayed, neither user are allowed to put excessive characters on the sign. For instance, if there are 100 characters in one line, I may only see 15~26 of them because the others won't fit. Also I cannot write more than 15 'D's or 26 'l's on a sign because they won't fit.

Opportunity
Since I can basically store a lot of characters in a single sign line, I can just write a line of the sign like this '#'.
