Minecraft not calling 'drawString' at all

Recommended Posts

To preface, this is my code:

 

// the main class:

@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitialization event) {
	MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new SomeClass());
}

// the 'SomeClass':

@SubscribeEvent
public void onGui(RenderGameOverlayEvent event) {
	someUI.Draw("Hello There");
	for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.size(); i++) {
		arrayList.get(i).guiRender(i);
	}
}

// the someUI.Draw():

public void Draw(String text) {
	Minecraft.fontRendererObj.drawString(text, 2, 2, 0xffffff);
}

// the arrayList:

public ArrayList<thisClass> arrayList = new ArrayList<thisClass>();
//...
arrayList.add(thisClass); // and other classes which extend thisClass

// thisClass:

public class thisClass {
	public void guiRender(int offset) {
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().fontRendererObj.drawString("Test", 2, 12 + (offset * 10), 0xffffff);
    }
}

The problem here is while someUI.Draw() will correctly create the text in the top right (2, 2), arrayList.get(i).guiRender(i) will not create anything. I've tried many things, from directly calling it (`new thisClass().guiRender(1)`) to merging it with someUI.Draw(). Nothing solves this problem. I'm extremely confused why it isn't creating anything, considering it should be properly creating text. I'd appreciate any help possible.

RenderGameOverlayEvent

This will fire each time a HUD element is drawn. Once for health, once for hunger, once for experience, etc. You need to check the current element being drawn with RenderGameOverlayEvent#getType. Otherwise you will be drawing your text many times per frame.

Also I don't believe RenderGameOverlayEvent itself is ever thrown. It's either Pre, Post or another child of that class. You probably need to handle one of the children events instead.

This wouldn't even compile. Minecraft.fontRenderer is not static.

Actually speaking of this, fontRendererObj got renamed to fontRenderer a while back. What version are you using exactly?

you should use the RenderGameOverlayEvent.Text event

    • Hello everyone, I'm making this post to seek help for my modded block, It's a special block called FrozenBlock supposed to take the place of an old block, then after a set amount of ticks, it's supposed to revert its Block State, Entity, data... to the old block like this :  The problem I have is that the system breaks when handling multi blocks (I tried some fix but none of them worked) :  The bug I have identified is that the function "setOldBlockFields" in the item's "setFrozenBlock" function gets called once for the 1st block of multiblock getting frozen (as it should), but gets called a second time BEFORE creating the first FrozenBlock with the data of the 1st block, hence giving the same data to the two FrozenBlock :   Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=head] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@73681674 BlockEntityData : id:"minecraft:bed",x:3,y:-60,z:-6} Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=3, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=2, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} here is the code inside my custom "freeze" item :    @Override     public @NotNull InteractionResult useOn(@NotNull UseOnContext pContext) {         if (!pContext.getLevel().isClientSide() && pContext.getHand() == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) {             BlockPos blockPos = pContext.getClickedPos();             BlockPos secondBlockPos = getMultiblockPos(blockPos, pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos));             if (secondBlockPos != null) {                 createFrozenBlock(pContext, secondBlockPos);             }             createFrozenBlock(pContext, blockPos);             return InteractionResult.SUCCESS;         }         return super.useOn(pContext);     }     public static void createFrozenBlock(UseOnContext pContext, BlockPos blockPos) {         BlockState oldState = pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos);         BlockEntity oldBlockEntity = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? pContext.getLevel().getBlockEntity(blockPos) : null;         CompoundTag oldBlockEntityData = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? oldBlockEntity.serializeNBT() : null;         if (oldBlockEntity != null) {             pContext.getLevel().removeBlockEntity(blockPos);         }         BlockState FrozenBlock = setFrozenBlock(oldState, oldBlockEntity, oldBlockEntityData);         pContext.getLevel().setBlockAndUpdate(blockPos, FrozenBlock);     }     public static BlockState setFrozenBlock(BlockState blockState, @Nullable BlockEntity blockEntity, @Nullable CompoundTag blockEntityData) {         BlockState FrozenBlock = BlockRegister.FROZEN_BLOCK.get().defaultBlockState();         ((FrozenBlock) FrozenBlock.getBlock()).setOldBlockFields(blockState, blockEntity, blockEntityData);         return FrozenBlock;     }
