Im creating a mod using forge and eclipse window builder (swing designer) to add a small external java GUI to the game. Where do I put the code to automatically open the GUI when the game is run? This is what I think I need to add, but where? 

					Maingui window = new Maingui();
					window.frame.setVisible(true);

This is an interesting question, I would guess the best answer would be provided with what will the external gui do?

Well, one thing you can do is handle the GUI open event and whenever the earliest GUI is opened you could then have a chance to intercept it and even replace it. But it does really matter what you're trying to do, so maybe explain that better.

 

The GUI is a control panel to switch on and off different game modifiers. The mod is similar to carpet mod by gnembon but I prefer an external gui rather than typing in commands to chat. Maybe it would be easier to open the gui by typing in something like /GUI

Or a key press.

 

But you also must use another Thread for your External Gui. You could also just use an in game gui.

Entity tracking (tnt,sand,items), make entities visible or invisible. Trace entity path (tnt,sand,items). List entities (items) and time till they despawn. Mostly mods for technical players. The reason I dont choose an in game gui is because it seems more challenging to create the things I need. (checkboxes, tables, lists) and aesthetics are the least of my concern.

That works, but remember you will have to use another thread and handle the data transfer between them correctly so that no memory leaks happen.

Would you be able to go into a little more detail?

That's simply a programming/Java thing and a google search will provide a good explanation. And even tutorials on YouTube.

Do you mean you just want a configuration GUI? You can do a standard config GUI that you can access by pressing ESC then Mod Options. Of you can just do your own extension of GuiScreen and just open it whenever you want (could be chat command if you want). The nice thing about a config GUI is it is already set up to have fairly organized way to set, change, reset, etc. including nested categories. It also allows you the user to configure using a .cfg file directly. 

 

What kind of things would the player be changing?

Do you know if the config screen requires a client restart to apply changes? For example I need to be able to adjust a slider while the game is running.

No. You only need a restart if you need a restart -- you can specify if a value change requires restart (default it does not). For example, I have a mod where you can change the color of all the enchantments and you can change them right while playing the game.

Nope. Here's a few links to get you started

      How do I make a drink item?

      By DroidCrafter23 · Posted

      I have done this now but have got the error:   'food(net.minecraft.world.food.FoodProperties)' in 'net.minecraft.world.item.Item.Properties' cannot be applied to                '(net.minecraftforge.registries.RegistryObject<net.minecraft.world.item.Item>)' public static final RegistryObject<Item> LEMON_JUICE = ITEMS.register( "lemon_juice", () -> new Item( new HoneyBottleItem.Properties().stacksTo(1).food( (new FoodProperties.Builder()) .nutrition(3) .saturationMod(0.25F) .effect(() -> new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.DAMAGE_RESISTANCE, 1500), 0.01f ) .build() ) )); The code above is from the ModFoods class, the one below from the ModItems class. public static final RegistryObject<Item> LEMON_JUICE = ITEMS.register("lemon_juice", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties().food(ModFoods.LEMON_JUICE)));   I shall keep going between them to try and figure out the cause. I am sorry if this is too much for you to help with, though I thank you greatly for your patience and all the effort you have put in to help me.

      By DroidCrafter23 · Posted

      I have been following these exact tutorials for quite a while, I must agree that they are amazing and easy to follow. I have registered the item in the ModFoods class, I tried to do it in ModItems (Where all the items should be registered) but got errors, I think I may need to revert this and figure it out from there. Once again, thank you for your help! 👍 Just looking back, I have noticed in your code you added ITEMS.register, which I am guessing means that they are being registered in ModFoods, I shall go through the process of trial and error to figure this out.

      Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Duplicate recipe compressed:compressed_diamond

      By ANtonYL · Posted

      Hi, I'm trying to use datagen to create json files in my own mod. This is my ModRecipeProvider class. public class ModRecipeProvider extends RecipeProvider implements IConditionBuilder { public ModRecipeProvider(PackOutput pOutput) { super(pOutput); } @Override protected void buildRecipes(Consumer<FinishedRecipe> pWriter) { ShapedRecipeBuilder.shaped(RecipeCategory.MISC, ModBlocks.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND_BLOCK.get()) .pattern("SSS") .pattern("SSS") .pattern("SSS") .define('S', ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND.get()) .unlockedBy(getHasName(ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND.get()), has(ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND.get())) .save(pWriter); ShapelessRecipeBuilder.shapeless(RecipeCategory.MISC, ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND.get(),9) .requires(ModBlocks.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND_BLOCK.get()) .unlockedBy(getHasName(ModBlocks.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND_BLOCK.get()), has(ModBlocks.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND_BLOCK.get())) .save(pWriter); ShapedRecipeBuilder.shaped(RecipeCategory.MISC, ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND.get()) .pattern("SSS") .pattern("SSS") .pattern("SSS") .define('S', Blocks.DIAMOND_BLOCK) .unlockedBy(getHasName(ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND.get()), has(ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND.get())) .save(pWriter); } } When I try to run the runData client, it shows an error:  Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Duplicate recipe compressed:compressed_diamond I know that it's caused by the fact that there are two recipes for the ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND. But I need both of these recipes, because I need a way to craft ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND_BLOCK and restore 9 diamond blocks from ModItems.COMPRESSED_DIAMOND. Is there a way to solve this?
