Thanks, will try this out later today...

What I need to know is how to: -use multiple different textures at the same time for each itemstack of my item -change these textures while the game is running without any performance issues like refreshresources ex: itemStack1 renders with itemTextureA itemStack2 renders with itemTextureB itemStack3 renders with itemTextureC ... ... ... Changed itemStack1 to render with itemTextureD I remember this was sorta possible before, but is it still possible in 1.8+? Would modelbakery work? Maybe something with a BufferedImage?

Okay I get it now, thanks man! That worked perfectly!

In a class that extends GuiContainer, I used this to center my texture.... int x = (this.width-textureWidth)/2;//my texture is a 256x256 texture therefore, textureWidth and textureHeight = 256 int y = (this.height-textureHeight)/2; and this to place it..... this.drawTexturedModalRect(x, y, 0, 0, guiWidth, guiHeight); registering the guihandler in preinit like this NetworkRegistry.INSTANCE.registerGuiHandler(this, new GuiHandler()); But for some reason the texture is being placed at the top left corner at the screen with 3 quarters of the texture being cut off. The center of the texture is being placed at 0, 0 instead of the center of the screen like intended. Yes, I'm new to Forge, but I am not a complete idiot, I used the debugger to figure out that "this.height" and "this.width" equals 0, therefore placing the gui at -128,-128. So why is this happening and can someone tell me how to fix it??? Is the container affecting it? Is it where I'm registering the guihandler?

Yes, the gui is taking up the full size of the png

So I'm trying to experiment with GUI's and ran into a brick wall here. public class test_GUIScreen extends GuiScreen { int guiWidth = 256; //image is a 256x256 png int guiHeight = 256; int guiX = (width-guiWidth)/2; //centering int guiY = (height-guiHeight)/2; GuiButton Test; //unused buton @Override public void drawScreen(int mouseX, int mouseY, float partialTicks) { GL11.glColor4f(1, 1, 1, 1); drawDefaultBackground(); mc.renderEngine.bindTexture(new ResourceLocation("test", "textures/gui/testtex3.png")); this.drawTexturedModalRect(guiX, guiY, 0, 0, guiWidth, guiHeight); super.drawScreen(mouseX, mouseY, partialTicks); } @Override public void initGui() { // buttonList.clear(); // buttonList.add(Test = new GuiButton(0, guiX+1, guiY+2, 30, 20, "Test")); super.initGui(); } @Override protected void actionPerformed(GuiButton Button) throws IOException { switch(Button.id) { case 0: case 1: case 2: } super.actionPerformed(Button); } @Override protected void mouseClicked(int mouseX, int mouseY, int mouseButton) throws IOException { super.mouseClicked(mouseX, mouseY, mouseButton); } } This code is making the texture appear in the top left corner of the screen but I need it in the center . Can someone please share their insight? :'(

Ah I see, Thank you

Sorry, still kinda new to Forge. No, I did not read the constructor. God, I feel like an Idiot right now... I even remember seeing .getMinecraft() used somewhere.......

So basically, I need to use a method in Minecraft.class, I know that you can't just use it like "Minecraft.doSomething()" because I need to use the specific instance of Minecraft.class that is created by Main.class, only thing is, this is how the instance is created: (new Minecraft(gameconfiguration)).run(); Is there a way in Java to get the instance of a class that was not created as a variable?
