I'm trying to take a mod that when the player is displayed a title, the event will be canceled if the title text meets certain conditions. However, I can't figure out how to detect that title.

I found this way to cancel all titles, but I don't know how to get the text component.

@SubscribeEvent
public void onRenderGuiOverlay(RenderGuiOverlayEvent event) {
	if (event.getOverlay().id().toString().equals("minecraft:title_text")) {
		event.setCanceled(true);
	}
}

I've tried modifying this method for an older version but I couldn't get that to work.

Anyone know how to do this?

Do you mean this?

https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/blob/ab70bde1d648125acee073a93a25d4b8f08985c9/src/main/java/net/minecraftforge/client/gui/overlay/VanillaGuiOverlay.java#L173

You match something like this (I don't remember the exact code)

if (event.getOverlay() == VanillaGuiOverlay.TITLE_TEXT.type) {
   // Do stuff
}

 

The title itself is a protected field on the object

Minecraft.getInstance().gui

So you will either need to use reflection to access it

or use an AccessTransformer to make it public:

I would also guess you want to listen for the event:

Quote

RenderGuiOverlayEvent.Pre

You are currently listening on both Pre And Post.

Post is not cancellable and too late for what you are doing anyway.

Thank you so much warjort! I was eventually able to get it working thanks to your help.
