im running minecraft 1.7.10 ( as most of the mods i use have not been updated to 1.8    ), and therefore im using the 1.7.10 version of forge, and have ran into the problem of being unable to access the ingame options menu, see picture. is there a hotfix for this? Would running a more recent version of forge be funcional with the 1.7.10 mods and minecraft 1.7.10?

This menu was only made functional in 1.8.8-11.14.4.1579. I don't think it will be backported to 1.7.10.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

well thats not exactly true, as i remember it functioning years and years ago when i last played this game.  i was aware of what you are telling me, though it doesnt help resolve the situation. i would have thought after all this time someone would have backported this functionality, considering there are mods that are only configurable through the ingame menu (ex, mocreatures) 

i suppose i could just go into the mods and modify the options that would normally be accessible ingame from within the mods themselves, but i have no idea what file i would be looking for, much less what i would need to modify it.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the mods menu accessed from the main menu (i.e. before you load a world)? That should be functional in 1.7.10.

yes, im sure. assuming i didnt mess something up, i can not configure mocreatures whatsoever from the main menu.

 

i went ahead and answered my own question though. it would appear that .minecraft\config has the options i was looking for. would be nice to be able to use the ingame menu (like i used to) but whatever, you get what you pay for.

Mods can only be configured in Minecraft (from the main menu or the in-game menu) if they provide a config GUI, which not all mods do.

 

If a mod was configurable in-game prior to 1.8.8-11.14.4.1579, it must have created its own GUI independent of Forge's config GUI system.

The in-game config system never worked, I fixed it to do a few months back in 1.8+

Some coremods have gone through and futtzed with that screen but nothing in Forge.

And we do not backport changes.

So, right now you can't edit things in-game. Use the main menu option or you know, UPDATE FORGE.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

      Forge 1.21 – How can I add a custom HUD Overlay (Item Icon + Text)

      By OhOhIWontLetUGo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!

      [Help] How to update a mod from 1.19.2 to 1.20.1

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!

      Crash the server

      Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
