Trying to add NBT Tags to an items Lore Description area.

Found code that works for 1.16 but not for 1.18.2

        @Override
        public void addInformation(ItemStack itemstack, World world, List<ITextComponent> list, ITooltipFlag flag) {
            super.addInformation(itemstack, world, list, flag);
            String line1 = (String) ((itemstack).getOrCreateTag().getString("line1"));
            String line2 = (String) ((itemstack).getOrCreateTag().getString("line2"));
            list.add(new StringTextComponent((("\u00A75") + "" + (line1))));
            list.add(new StringTextComponent((("\u00A75") + "" + (line2))));
        }

Did some of this code change with the 1.18.2 update?

Im pretty sure "addInformation" method was replaced by "appendHoverText" in any of the versions 1.16.x (in 1.16.5 its appendHoverText).

Also in 1.17 changed class names:

ITextComponent to Component
IToolTipFlag to TooltipFlag
World to Level
StringTextComponent to TextComponent (TextComponent from older versions was renamed to BaseComponent).

Thanks Azzier.

That did the trick!

For anyone who would like to use NBT Variables in Lore Descriptions..for 1.17+...Here ya go!

@Override
        public void appendHoverText(ItemStack itemstack, Level level, List<Component> list, TooltipFlag flag) {
            super.appendHoverText(itemstack, level, list, flag);
            String line1 = (String) ((itemstack).getOrCreateTag().getString("line1"));
            String line2 = (String) ((itemstack).getOrCreateTag().getString("line2"));
            list.add(new TextComponent((("\u00A75") + "" + (line1))));
            list.add(new TextComponent((("\u00A75") + "" + (line2))));
        }
