Hello,

I would like to add a custom setting to the game's GUI pause menu that adjusts the volume of my mod’s custom sounds. More specifically, I want to add to the pre-existing game’s volume settings, and my custom setting would be a slider. How should I get started? Should I look at the SoundOptionsScreen class?

The SoundOptionsScreen will show you how to code the Slider.

To actually modify the screen you will need to register for forge's ScreenEvent(s) in your FMLClientSetup.

For example, you can respond to the Init.Post event by checking if it is the PauseScreen then adding your slider.

Your problems are probably going to be:

* Some other mod does the same thing and you end up drawing over each other

* Somebody runs the game in large gui mode and your slider doesn't fit on the screen

So you may want to be intelligent about where you add your slider, based on for example what widgets are actually on the screen.

Do you mean I have to do the registering in FMLClientSetupEvent? If so, would I have to use DeferredRegister<ScreenEvent> or something of the like?

So far, I tried subscribing to ScreenEvent.InitScreenEvent.Post and checked if event.getScreen() instanceof PauseScreen, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe it's because I have not registered for the ScreenEvent(s). Code below:

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = GoofyGoober.MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.FORGE, value = Dist.CLIENT)
  
...
  
    public static void onInitScreenEvent(ScreenEvent.InitScreenEvent.Post event) {
        System.out.println("init screen"); // does not get printed
        if (event.getScreen() instanceof PauseScreen pauseScreen) {
            System.out.println("game paused"); // does not get printed either
        }
    }

...

you forgot the @SubscribeEvent annotation on onInitScreenEvent

Haha my bad, thanks.

But is there anything I need to do regarding FMLClientSetupEvent?

create an EventHandler as you have done it for all other events,

inside FMLClientSetupEvent you need to use #enqueueWork since Screens are not thread safe
