Add text to f3 debug screen.

[Raycoms]

How and where can I add text to the f3 debug screen?

I want to add some additional world details regarding our mod to the f3 debug screen (Not static will change depending on the exact player position).

Yeah i got to RenderGameOverlayEvent.Text.

But where do I get an instance of this object to add my text to it?

 

And do I have to add it to a particular class or may I add it to whatever class which gets called once per tick?

RenderGameOverlayEvent.Text

is an event, you need to subscribe to it with an event handler. Events and event handlers are explained here.

I know how to add events, but the event object of RenderGameOverlayEvent.Text doesn't give me a world object or anything useful to operate on.

 

 

 @SubscribeEvent
    public void onDebugOverlay(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Text event)
    {
        event.getLeft().add("Colony in distance: ");
    }

This event is only fired on the client, which only has a single

World

:

Minecraft#theWorld

.

I tried to find out when it is the debug screen.

 

I tried the one under it but when I debugged it I noticed that there is no difference between debug and normal mode.

Only the lists are full in debug, but if our users use additional mods checking that won't work.

 

if(event.getType() == RenderGameOverlayEvent.ElementType.DEBUG)
        {
            event.getLeft().add("Colony in distance: ");
        }

Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.showDebugInfo resolves it.

 

 

Thanks for the help.
