[1.8] Make a link open on GUI button click

[IAmDrinkingLemonade]

As the title says I want to have the game open a webpage when I click a button using the simple minecraft link opener thingy that says "never open links from people you dont trust" I already have the entire GUI made I just need to get the button to work can anyone help me?

Not sure if 1.8 is different, but in 1.10,

GuiScreen#openWebLink

is what vanilla MC uses. Have a look and see if it exists in the 1.8 version.

Yep! it exists but Im not sure about how to use it

You need to back-trace the steps.

 

Take a look at

GuIScreen#handleComponentClick

. It gets the URI from the click-event, checks if it has protocal, checks if the protocol is supported, and at last, calls the "confirm open link"(OR just opens the link directly if it is disabled)

handleComponentClick does not exist, but I did more research and found

			      GuiConfirmOpenLink gui = new GuiConfirmOpenLink(this, "soggymustache.net", 0, true);
		      gui.disableSecurityWarning();
		      mc.displayGuiScreen(gui);

 

It shows the thing I need but the only working button is the copy to clipboard
