GUI Components like buttons, sliders, ... ?

[McJty]

Hi all, I know the basics of GUI in Minecraft now and managed to make my first GUI. However, I'm looking around to see how to implement the basic GUI things like buttons, sliders, checkboxes, ... I was hoping this would be implemented already somewhere in Forge or Minecraft (always nice not to have to reinvent the wheel) but I couldn't find anyhing like that. Are there things for this or does every mod developer have to develop his own GUI components when he needs a GUI?

 

Thanks!

There are some -very- basic GUI widgets included in vanilla -- buttons, text-boxes, sliders.  However, compared to normal GUI libraries they are quite backwards and difficult to use without much manual integration into your gui.

 

I believe most people develop their own GUI widgets / classes.  I did for my mod, I know chickenbones did for NEI, pretty sure the BC team has custom GUI stuff for BC as well.

 

There is/was a 'minecraft GUI's' API/mod at one point that was meant to work as a shared GUI library, but I never looked into it too much -- it might still be available, can probably google for it (minecraft GUI API or similar).
