How to create a simple HUD Screen? MC 1.14.4

[rizexor]

As the title says. I couldn't find much online. I don't want to use ContainerScreen because I think that is for a different purpose.

 

Also this is my first post here

 

EDIT: Also why doesn't it work when i put stable_58 in build.gradle?

 

mappings channel: 'snapshot', version: 'stable_58'

 

I had to use 20200119-1.14.4 instead.

What's a "HUD Screen"?

To add things to the HUD you can use RenderGameOverlayEvent. Make sure to check the various subtypes, this event is fired many times every frame, you usually just want one.

 

Define "doesn't work".

Like adding Health bar and rendering text etc.

 

Doesn't work meaning it fails to fetch it.

Okay, refer to my answer then.

 

...

Define "fails". Maybe post an error message?

Could not find net.minecraftforge:forge:1.14.4-28.1.0_mapped_snapshot_stable_58.

 

EDIT:

mappings channel: 'snapshot', version: 'stable_58'

 

even tried

 

mappings channel: 'stable', version: '58'

Also what class should I extend? Earlier we could override render function of Gui class.

 

I am guessing Screen is the replaced one so i tried to make this class:

package com.example.examplemod.client.gui;

import net.minecraft.client.gui.screen.Screen;
import net.minecraft.util.text.ITextComponent;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

public class ExampleHUD extends Screen {

    private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();

    protected ExampleHUD(ITextComponent titleIn) {
        super(titleIn);
    }
}

But when i do:

@SubscribeEvent
    public void onRender(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Pre event) {
        Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getInstance();
        mc.displayGuiScreen(new ExampleHUD());
    }

I get errror:

'ExampleHUD(net.minecraft.util.text.ITextComponent)' has protected access in 'com.example.examplemod.client.gui.ExampleHUD

No class needs to be extended.

displayGuiScreen is not for showing HUDs.

Please learn basic Java before making a mod. Knowing how to call methods is basic Java.

Expand  

 Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getInstance();
        mc.fontRenderer.drawString("Gay", 10, 10, 16777215);

I figured it out. I know how to call methods in Java just that i don't know which classes have these methods.

 

Now i don't know how to render a rectangle for health bar.
