Thanks for the tip - I guess I'll start poking around the vanilla stuff and see what I can figure out. As for copy/pasting.. I don't really plan on ever releasing what I'm doing, it's mostly a combination of me being bored while quarantined at home, and being nit-picky about minecraft's layout... so even in the worst of scenarios, copy and pasting stuff to mess around for myself isn't a worry.

So if I want to render my own stuff - this makes it sound like I need to import assets for the HUD if I want to render them anywhere but the default location?

Hey all, I've decided that I want a new HUD in my game, with advanced features and options to my liking. I've never modded before, but am well-versed in Java (CS major.. shocker, I'm sure). I can find plenty of old tutorials or threads on the subject from older versions of the game, but anything with the current versions of Forge/MC 1.15 seem to only be about block GUI. I've looked through the documentation, but can't find anything other than block GUI there either. I'm not even sure where to begin to make changes to the HUD. For reference, what I'm mainly looking to do is change the layout of the HUD, (ex. moving the hotbar to the top of the screen, or the left side of the screen etc.) but eventually will be adding new HUD elements as I familiarize myself with the concept.
