Proper documentation/getting started guide about adventure HOT 4 CLOSED

not really a solution but the lib is unit tested so those can serve as an example:
https://github.com/KyoriPowered/text/tree/master/api/src/test/java/net/kyori/text

edit: just looked, the readme is pretty good at explaining what to do

edit edit: for your questions:
hover:

TextComponent.builder().content("SomeText").hoverEvent(HoverEvent.showText(TextComponent.builder().content("some text").build())

if you want to create your hover text from a list you can either just collect your list into a single string via the stream/string joiner api, or you could just iterate your list and append to a component builder and use that to create the hover event component.

for deserialization, Component component = GsonComponentSerializer.INSTANCE.deserialize(json); should do the job (be sure to add text-serializer-gson to your dependencies).

Wouldn't it still be benefitial to have a wiki page that f.e. explains some of the more important classes, what they can (and even more important what they cannot) do and some common use examples.

I agree that the readme already explains most commonly used stuff, but things like the Hovertext are missing and maybe a section about certain limitations could also be useful.

Also another question... When I f.e. would iterate through the different lines. Could I just use the translateAlternateColorCodes method to make the hover coloured? Or would I need to use a separate method for this?

@Andre601 No, you'd create a Component with colour - for example:

• TextComponent.of("meow", TextColor.DARK_PURPLE)
• LegacyComponentSerializer.legacy().deserialize("&5meow", '&') to create a Component from legacy formatting codes
