Hello, I just created a forge account because I wanted to post things like this on the forums. Anyway, I am here to ask about how to create a GUI. I recall that there was a feature back in 1.12 to create a GUI for any block with a TileEntity that opens on a right click. The right click event still exists to this day, but the GUI seems to be missing for Forge 1.13/1.14! I have read all the docs for Forge 1.13 and only found ONE LINE that even mentions about a GUI, and it has a link that goes to a NONEXISTENT PAGE! Does anyone know if they removed or replaced the GUI system?

 

BTW here is a link to the place where I found the GUI link: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/1.13.x/blocks/interaction/#guis

Please stop bumping your thread every hour or so.

This will be annoying to others, thus reducing the chance of getting help.

I remember that a machine-like block has 4 things in 1.12.2: block, tile entity, container and GUI. It appears that there is Container, but not GUI. I would suggest looking at the decompiled code for the furnace and/or barrel.

No. The class still exists in 1.13. The name of the class didn't even change from 1.12 in 1.13.

Use your IDE to find the GuiContainer class and use it to create your GUI.

The GUI system is totally revamped right now. Even I don't get it.

I don't see a GuiContainer. I see ShulkerBoxContainer, HopperContainer, LoomContainer, etc.

In 1.13 (as OP specified), the GuiContainer class is at net.minecraft.client.gui.inventory.GuiContainer.

 

There might be a mapping change that changed the name of the class, but I don't think there is one concerning 1.13.

And those classes all extend...?

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Alright, I have searched for "Gui" but got the following:

 

- GuiAccessDenied

- GuiBackupFailed

- GuiButtonExt

- GuiCheckBox

- GuiConfirmation

- GuiContainerEvent

- GuiMessageDialog

- GuiModList

- GuiNotification

- GuiOpenEvent

- GuiScreenEvent

- GuiSlider

- GuiSlotModList

- GuiUnicodeGlyphButton

- GuiUtils

 

That's pretty much it, I didn't find anything relating to GuiContainer!

There were also HUGE structural API changes for 1.13, so I had my doubts that the class would remain untouched.

Container and GUI creation is very different in 1.14.x compared with 1.12.2.  I wrote a post about it here while figuring it out: 

I hope you're developing in 1.14.x and not the dead-end that is 1.13.x.

And the reason you're not finding any GuiXXXX classes in vanilla is that they've all been renamed to xxxScreen (e.g. HopperScreen).

Yes, I am coding in 1.14, and I see that they renamed the classes!
