Setting lore color in config?

So here's my code:

Code:java

                List<String> lore = (List<String>) getConfig().getList("rewards.item_lore");
 
                for(String s : lore)
                {
                    s = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', s);
                }

I'm trying to get it so that color would work in the lore. But this isn't working, any ideas?

Can you post more of the code?

 

Unless that's the complete code of the method, you'll need to show more of your code for someone to help.

However, I can tell you that you can already simplify your code by using getStringList instead of casting getList

Your for loop doesn't change any strings, it only assigns to the temporary string references you get from iteration. In other words, Java isn't as cool as C++.

Do you know how I can make it assign to each element in the lore?

 

Like this?

Code:java

List<String> lore = getConfig().getStringList("rewards.item_lore");
List<String> coloredLore = new ArrayList<String>();
 
for (String s : lore) {
    coloredLore.add(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', s));
}
