How to send a Component in Paper 1.20+

[fuzeblocks]

Hey devs,

After reviewing the docs, I couldn't find any explanation on how to send a component, like in this example:

// Creates a line of text saying "You're a Bunny! Press <key> to jump!", with some coloring and styling.
final TextComponent textComponent = Component.text("You're a ")
    .color(TextColor.color(0x443344))
    .append(Component.text("Bunny", NamedTextColor.LIGHT_PURPLE))
    .append(Component.text("! Press "))
    .append(
        Component.keybind("key.jump")
            .color(NamedTextColor.LIGHT_PURPLE)
            .decoration(TextDecoration.BOLD, true)
    )
    .append(Component.text(" to jump!"));
// now you can send `textComponent` to a client

I’m not sure how to actually send this component to a player in Paper 1.20+.

Previously I used:

player.spigot().sendMessage(...);

but I noticed this method has been removed.

Here is an example of my current code:

private void sendHomeMessage(Player player, String homeName, Location location) {
    String detailHeader = HomePlugin.getLanguageManager()
        .getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Home-detail-header")
        .replace("%home%", homeName);
    player.sendMessage(detailHeader);

    String locationLine = HomePlugin.getLanguageManager()
        .getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Home-location")
        .replace("%x%", String.valueOf(location.getBlockX()))
        .replace("%y%", String.valueOf(location.getBlockY()))
        .replace("%z%", String.valueOf(location.getBlockZ()))
        .replace("%world%", location.getWorld().getName());
    player.sendMessage(locationLine);

    // Interactive components
    TextComponent teleportComponent = createInteractiveComponent(
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Teleport-label"),
        ChatColor.GRAY,
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Teleport-click"),
        ChatColor.YELLOW,
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Teleport-hover"),
        "/home " + homeName
    );

    TextComponent manageComponent = new TextComponent(
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Manage-label")
    );
    manageComponent.setColor(ChatColor.GRAY);

    TextComponent relocateComponent = createInteractiveComponent(
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Relocate-click"),
        ChatColor.GOLD,
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Relocate-hover"),
        "/homerelocate"
    );

    TextComponent deleteComponent = createInteractiveComponent(
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Delete-click"),
        ChatColor.RED,
        HomePlugin.getLanguageManager().getStringWithColor(HOME + "List.Delete-hover"),
        "/delhome " + homeName
    );

    // This no longer works:
    player.spigot().sendMessage(teleportComponent, manageComponent, relocateComponent, deleteComponent);
}

When I check the decompiled API:

@Override
public void sendMessage(@NotNull net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.BaseComponent... components) {
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
}

So, my question is: what is the correct way to send Components to a player in Paper 1.20+?

Player#sendMessage(Component)

Note that this uses the Adventure API and not the BungeeChat API like in your example. If you need help with the BungeeChat API you'll have to ask them.

Nah, i can't do that be cause it's will throw an Exception

@OverRide
public void sendMessage(@NotNull net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.BaseComponent... components) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
}

Player#sendMessage(Component)

Note that this uses the Adventure API and not the BungeeChat API like in your example. If you need help with the BungeeChat API you'll have to ask them.

In my new code i use the AdventureAPI but there are not method which accept Component like Player#sendMessage(Component).
Only String are accepted
