Hey, I am trying to make an external overlay for Minecraft (proof-of-concept).

I want to make external block overlays in C++ rendered over the top of the game. In order to do this for a target block, I need the screen locations of the 4 block corner point positions in the player's view in XY format.

This position depends on multiple factors including Player Location, Yaw, Pitch, FOV, Monitor Resolution and whether the game is being played in Full Screen or Windowed mode.

It would be great to find a solution - the game is always played in full screen and the monitor resolution is 1920x1080

Can anybody help me with this and show me how I would go about doing it?

Thanks,

aloha087

What does this have to do with forge?

"This is the support section for those modding with Forge"

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

The screen locations will be sent to the external overlay via a Forge mod. Forge would be ideal for getting positions also.

 Forge doesn't haven't an api for this. Minecraft itself never really has this information.

You can find a similar question asked (except in reverse) here: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/114283-119-screen-point-xy-to-world-coordinates-xyz

In simplistic terms Minecraft does its world rendering in "world coordinates" only later after it has worked out what should be displayed does it translate it to "screen coordinates".

And what is translated at that point has long since lost its connection to the block abstraction.

 

The assumption that blocks are in some sense cubic or even confined to a 1x1x1 cube is also incorrect.

Try looking a lectern and pay attention to the shape and extent of its hitbox. 🙂 

 

Finally, directly using the opengl java api (instead of Minecraft's rendering api) is strongly discouraged. Calling native code to do it is pretty much the same thing, if not worse.

    • I fight fires for a living, it's in my blood as a volunteer firefighter. But nothing could have prepared me for the fire that almost reduced my family's future to ashes. I had secretly accumulated $150,000 worth of Bitcoin over the years, intending to lock up my children's education and provide my wife with some leeway from our constant shift-work life. That was until a phishing attack struck me while I was out fighting a wildfire. The call had been on a hot afternoon. We were dashing to contain wildfires tearing across parched scrub lands. At such frantic moments, my phone pulsed with a security alert message from what looked like my Bitcoin wallet operator. Drenched with sweat, fatigue, and hyper adrenaline, I had clicked on the link and input my log-ins without questioning anything. I was tricked by hackers during my most vulnerable time. Hours later, returning to the station, I emptied my wallet. The harsh reality hit me with more force than any fire could ever have. My carefully saved safety net had vanished. My heart beat faster than the sirens. I felt as though I had failed my family. I explained my terror of burgers at our favorite local diner that evening to my friend. He leaned in close and whispered a single word: Digital Hack Recovery. He swore by their effectiveness, stating they worked miracles when his cousin had crypto stolen from him in a scam. I was skeptical old-school and desperate, so I called them. From the first call, their team treated me like family. They didn't only view figures; they viewed a husband and a father attempting to rectify a horrific error. They labored day and night, following stolen money through blockchain transactions like l detectives. Progress was made every day, translating intricate tech into fireman-speak. Ten days later, I got the call. “We recovered your Bitcoin.” I cried. Right there in the station, surrounded by smoke-stained gear, I let it all out. Relief. Gratitude. Hope they don't stop there. Knowing I worked in emergency services, Digital Hack Recovery offered to run an online security workshop for my entire fire department. They turned my disaster into a lesson that safeguarded my team. These folks don’t just recover wallets; they rebuild lives. They rebuilt mine. I fight fires for a living, it's in my blood as a volunteer firefighter.

    • Ran it one more time just to check, and there's no errors this time on the log??? Log : https://mclo.gs/LnuaAiu I tried allocating more memory to the modpack, around 8000MB and it's still the same; stopping at "LOAD_REGISTRIES". Are some of the mods clashing, maybe? I have no clue what to do LOL
