The ITextComponent interface is the format Minecraft uses to send and display rich text to players.

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues (like casting an Array), so better be safe than sorry and add the import.
import crafttweaker.text.ITextComponent;

You can cast an IFormattedText as ITextComponent (using the AS keyword, or the asTextComponent() method) or use these static methods below.

ZenScript
 Copy
import crafttweaker.text.ITextComponent;

ITextComponent.fromString(String s);
ITextComponent.fromTranslation(String translationKey);
ITextComponent.fromTranslation(String translationKey, Object... args);

ITextComponent.fromData(IData data);

Note: the argument of fromData method is raw JSON text format.

You can add or concatenate two ITextComponent together using the respecting Operators: + ~
