Hello Guys, I am developing a Minecraft mod for my server, and I wanted to know if it is possible to change the Main screen. Is it possible for me to use a JPanel for the startscreen, because I have an Eclipse Modification called "WindowBuilder" with that I can easily edit and create windows with JPanels, JLabels etc.

 

The startscreen should look like this:

 

Thanks for you help

I'm pretty sure you can't. Minecraft uses LWJGL, not Swing, which means it's not built off of JFrames and JPanels. There was another question a few days ago asking the same thing, here it is[/url.

Thanks for your help,  actually I just copied the Minecraft Main Menu, catched the GUIOpenEvent and set a new Mainmenu. The point is, that I don't know how to use custom graphics for my buttons etc.

 

Do you know how I could do this?

1. GL > Swing in terms of games.

2. You did right thing.

3. As to buttons - extend GuiButton and Override drawing method. Use:

this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(resourceOfTexture);
this.drawTexturedModalRect(params...);

To draw texture onto button.

Ok, and where should I place my textures?

assets folder

assets folder

 

Of course, I know that

But I mean where is this folder located?

Swing is POSSIBLE, because I'm in the middle of making it work, is it worth it? No.
