Im having serious trouble with making a UI/Overlay/HUD for minecraft 1.16. Im not able to find much on it so can someone explain how to make one.

show what you tried

what did you tried to achieve?

so far i tried https://paste.ofcode.org/EQGtTrNJhGgvg2hPt77MeS

and I have been adding random things like "mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture();"

you can take a look at how vanilla render their overlays,
from IngameGui#render all Overlays are rendered

So I tried to do that but I got really confused and didn't know how it worked or where to start.

I tried these two. They were the only thing i could make out from the code.
Is there another class that i need to make because i have no client side classes.

unfortunately i'm not familiar with the 1.16 render system,
from what I know bindTexture only binds the texture it doesn't render the texture on the screen
if i remember correctly the method you need to use to render the texture is AbstractGui.blit

This is correct.

@Make custom fireball Do not use @OnlyIn.

I think i did everything right but no ui

Why do you have this field? Minecraft is already a singleton, there is no need to store its instance anywhere.

Your event handler method is not correct if you want to use @EventBusSubscriber. As described in the documentation, @EventBusSubscriber registers the Class to the event bus, so only static event handler methods will be checked.

I have that field because mc always comes with an error without the field being there

http://paste.ofcode.org/ZGLffeGhB56xQNjaVugeQZ I made the method static according to the documentation i think but when i run the code and cant load into my world.

Learn basic Java.

You're using the field "mc" but you have not initialized this field, hence it has the initial value of null. You cannot call methods on null.

Im so special i didn't realize Minecraft was a class and i had to do mc = new Minecraft(); but i dont even have to make it a variable, I could just use Minecraft.
Now the hunger bar has a black box ever it.

Your ElementType check is wrong. For adding to the HUD you should be checking for ElementType.ALL, not for anything but ALL.

Your ResourceLocation also seems fishy. Firstly you should use the 2 argument constructor, so that you don't have to do that ugly string concatenation. Secondly, the path should not start with a slash.

For the type someone on a discord server told me that, I knew it was fishy. Another will the resource location make it the black bar. Also i just get the hunger wave on the black bar, so i don't think there is a black bar over it but the hunger texture was replaced with a black bar.

Show updated code.

didnt know how the argument constructors were going to be added so i just left it the same but took out the slashes

the constructor use two Strings, the first String is the mod id the second one is the actual path to the texture

I got it working fine now
