[1.18.x-1.19.x] How to create the GuiConfig from back in 1.12 and older versions

[American2050]

I haven't been updating mods in a while but I remember back in 1.12.2 and older versions there was a "GuiConfig" that we could extend and together with a "IModGuiFactory" that was enough to register the in-game Config GUI from @Mod passing the guiFactory in question.

All that to get the "Config" button working in-game.

What is the method to achieve this in newer versions like 1.18.x and 1.19.x - I couldn't find anything in the Documentation (Or maybe I missed it)

Something like:

@EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT)
public class ConfigScreenTest {

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void clientSetupEvent(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
        event.enqueueWork(() -> {
            ModLoadingContext.get().registerExtensionPoint(ConfigScreenFactory.class, () -> new ConfigScreenFactory(ConfigScreenTest::createConfigScreen));
        });
    }

    public static Screen createConfigScreen(Minecraft minecraft, Screen mainConfigScreen) {
        return new ErrorScreen(Component.literal("Title"), Component.literal("Error"));
    }
}

Obviously you should minecraft.setScreen(mainConfigScreen) when you are done, unlike my stupid example. 🙂

Thanks will give it a go.

PS: Do I need to manually build the screen items by item, or is there something built in that can handle it, like in the past we had GuiConfig?

Maybe this if you don't want to write it yourself? https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/configured

Oh yes, I saw that mod, but that's what I was trying to prevent, I want to provide the Config screen myself and not depend on other mods.
