Talk:Text component format

How does look like a Example of "separator" in "nbt" ?

1.19 /data modify storage teayo_daten_1 daten.test set value ["A","B"] /tellraw @a {"nbt":"daten.test","storage":"teayo_daten_1","interpret":"false","separator":"+"} [CHAT] : ["A","B"] /tellraw @a {"nbt":"daten.test","storage":"teayo_daten_1","interpret":"true","separator":"+"} [CHAT] : AB

separator work with selector but i don't see how it work with nbt ? Can someone explain it me ? Teayo (talk) 18:44, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I was going through Raw JSON text format#History, and found it odd to read that the various places in which JSON can be used are "supported by" JSON, rather than "supporting" it. I have changed it since I think this is correct, but I find it odd that it hadn't already been changed and am looking for consensus. ZacNVR (talk) 23:12, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

This is how the game internally refers to it and since the latest snapshot commands need to use SNBT to use this format, making the title obsolete. GIM Dianliang233 (talk) 15:16, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

 Support. I was meaning to propose this earlier but didn't get to it. LassiPulkkinen (talk) 17:14, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

We can't just use the ​^[upcoming] tags over and over again, that would make it messy. Oh yeah, the two sub-pages should still remain after 1.21.5 releases, because some would still want to know how it used to work before. Sul4ur (talk) 14:43, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

 Support - I think that if there's no different name for the new system, the page about new system should be here and page about old system at Text component format/Before 1.21.5 after release. I don't have idea what should we do before it. 👁 Image

 Support, adding upcoming tags everywhere would be a mess. The subpage should be named "Text component format/Upcoming", then it should be moved to "Text component format" once the full update is out, while the current page would be moved to "Text component format/Before 1.21.5".--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 15:02, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

There is one problem though, what about the main page? which one should it be, beofre 1.21.5 or after 1.21.5? Sul4ur (talk) 15:12, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm talking about right now though, not when 1.21.5 releases Sul4ur (talk) 15:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

I think that "before" before release and "after" after the release 👁 Image

What about the main page then? Sul4ur (talk) 15:43, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

The main page will continue to cover the most recent stable version. Right now it covers 1.21.4, once the next update is out it will cover 1.21.5, if the format is drastically changed again in 10 years it will cover the new format, and so on. The 1.21.5 format should (temporarily) be described in an "Upcoming" subpage, while the current 1.21.4 format will be moved to a "Before 1.21.5" subpage once the next update is released. Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 15:50, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

The main page should always cover the current stable version, so 1.21.4 right now and then 1.21.5 when the full update is released.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 15:16, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

I think this should be splitted in something like Text component format (the current one) and Old text component format (before 1.21.5).--Arina (she/her) 15:15, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

I think that "old" causes ambiguity. What about if it will change again? 👁 Image

A new page with the same title and version in brackets (so Old text component format (before 25w02a) and Old text component format (before ?)), then a disambiguation page.--Arina (she/her) 15:21, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

For example we have biome and biome/Before 1.18 👁 Image

I personally don't think subpages are a good way to separate articles. Nobody looks for them.--Arina (she/her) 15:24, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Not really a problem since they document old versions. They can still be references as a hatnote in the main article.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 15:25, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

And also Trading/Before Village & Pillage and Trading/Before Java Edition 1.8. Since this change only affects Java and there's no ambiguity, I think "Text component format/Before 1.21.5" would work fine.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 15:24, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I might change my mind. Maybe we don't need an entire new page, because it's actually just a single change, and can be represented in a note section or something. What do you think? how should it be done? Sul4ur (talk) 16:55, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

My idea is to move this page into Raw JSON text format, and move Text component format/Upcoming Java Edition 1.21.5 to this page.

The raw JSON page should cover all details about text formats before 1.21.5 (because that used to be its name) and for Bedrock edition, and the text component format one should cover all details about text formats after 1.21.5 (because that's the new name).

Just like Item format and Data component format.– Unsigned comment added by Sul4ur (talk • contribs) at 19:43, 26 January 2025 (UTC). Please sign comments with ~~~~

No, it has been called the text component for a long time. The recent snapshot changes made it necessary for us to remove JSON from the title, which doesn't mean that the previous format was not the text component. -- Leo768 (talk) 19:54, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

So looks like it had just been a rename. So yeah... (Sul4ur) 12:26, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

While in good faith, this is not the appropriate place to post about this. If you wish to propose a change to how wiki links are shown, please start a forurm post at Minecraft Wiki:Forum. BDJP ^(t|c) 04:13, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Text components are written in the same format of whatever thing that accepts them (for example, you would write it as JSON in pack.mcmeta in the description field). I would want to edit it, but I just couldn't come up with better phrasing. WithRubium (talk) 06:19, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
