Slow printing java text method not separating lines

Question

I'm trying to make a text-based game and want the text to print slowly. I created a method that does that, but when I use it for multiple strings, it doesn't separate the lines and just continues to print everything on the first line. I'm not sure exactly what I can do in this situation.

I'm really new to coding so if anyone knows a better way to make the slow printing text method on Java, please let me know.

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class adventureGame {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        slowPrint("Text text text");
        slowPrint("Text text text");
        slowPrint("Text text text");
        slowPrint("Text text text");
        slowPrint("text text text");
        slowPrint("Text text text");
    }
    public static void slowPrint(String output) {
        for (int i = 0; i<output.length(); i++) {
          char c = output.charAt(i);
          System.out.print(c);
          try {
            TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(100);
          }
          catch (Exception e) {
    
          }
        }
    }
}

You need to tell the computer to move to a new line. Perhaps the easiest way to change the code you have to do this is to add carriage return and line feed characters to the end of each line:

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class adventureGame {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    slowPrint("Text text text\r\n");
    slowPrint("Text text text\r\n");
    slowPrint("Text text text\r\n");
    slowPrint("Text text text\r\n");
    slowPrint("text text text\r\n");
    slowPrint("Text text text\r\n");
  }

  public static void slowPrint(String output) {
    for (int i = 0; i<output.length(); i++) {
      char c = output.charAt(i);
      System.out.print(c);
      try {
        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(100);
      }
      catch (Exception e) {

      }
    }
  }
}
