Posted December 31, 20168 yr I am wanting to open up a Java window rather than having an in-game GUI. My intention is to display some debug/diagnostic information while I am going through the world doing various tests of my mod. My question whether there is sample code laying around somewhere that demonstrates a good of handling, and failing that whether there is guidance on how to approach. Thanks!

It is definitely possible you just need to deal with threads. Your window should run on its own Thread, and use Listeners (like you would with a Packet) to get the data you need.

December 31, 20168 yr Author In my case the JPanel is just displaying information - no editing or things like that. Pretty basic. What I did do is create my own JPanel and TableModel for the data I wanted to render. I tell it to repaint() whenever the data underneath updates during the client tick cycle and is safe to access. As you point out if I do something more detailed I would have to put in some infrastructure. (Would be nice to have some sort of basic library where a mod could "plug in" for supplying diagnostics.)
