Hello

Recently, I had the bright idea of creating a mod for one of my favorite servers. The concept was that (to put it simply) if the player was inside this region (I.E. X:100 to X:300 and Z:100 to Z:300) then a String (I.E. "Warehouse") would appear in the top right corner of the screen.  It is a mod that would display a callout on the screen for the player. If this does not make sense just ask Ill try to explain it better. So, I don't have too much experience with "Modding" and very basic knowledge with "Java" and I'm looking for someone or some people to help me out with this mod !

So if you can or want to help out just PM me

 

Have a great day !

So the idea is with commands, you can set an area, then if you are within this area have a specific text display on screen, which you would set when inside that space.

Question. Why make a FORGE mod for this. You can easily (well easily enough) do this in vanilla with command blocks..... and if u really want a server mod for this make it bukkit. Just saying

No no no, I want this to work on a server and a String would not be in chat, it would be displayed on the players HUD.

I am aware of that. Using VANILLA Command blocks (which work on a server) you can make text appear on the players HUD... this should not be new info to you. Please

I know VANILLA command blocks work on minecraft servers (Im not dumb). However, the server I play on I am not an admin nor owner, and there are 0 command blocks on the entire server (Confirmed by owner). So why would the owner go to all this trouble to create this when I could do the same thing client sided with forge?

when I could do the same thing client sided with forge?

 

Hahahahaha, you can't client-side-only this.

Not going to happen.

I get the idea, you just want to know where you enter a specific area to a string to be displayed on your hub (not anyone else's game)

 

I haven't really done anything with tick handlers or drawing on the In-Game Gui Screen outside of Custom Chest, so I can't give you exactly what to use.

 

But it sounds like you would need to use a ClientTickEvent and check every few ticks or so if the player has entered that area, then set a boolean to true and draw the text on the screen. Then check once they leave, mark the boolean as false, and ether stop drawing the text.
