Hello, I'm trying to make a GUI using Screen.

So far I've got 

public class MyGUI extends Screen {
    public MyGUI() {
        super(null);
    }

    @Override
    public void init(Minecraft p_init_1_, int p_init_2_, int p_init_3_) {
        this.addButton(new Button(this.width/2-100, this.height/2-50,200, 100, "Click me!", (button) -> this.onClose()));
    }

    @Override
    public void render(int p_render_1_, int p_render_2_, float p_render_3_) {
        this.renderBackground();
        super.render(p_render_1_, p_render_2_, p_render_3_);
        this.drawCenteredString(this.font, "Click the button!", this.width/2, this.height/2 + 70, 0xFFFFFF);
    }
}

It opens the Screen when I right-click on my block. Right now it draws the background (i.e the screen darkens) but not the buttons/text, then proceeds to freeze the game after a few seconds / pressing Esc.

 

Thanks in advance!

I've also tried with 

Objects.requireNonNull(ITextComponent.Serializer.fromJson("{\"text\": \"MyGUI\"}"))

same thing happened.

 

I got the idea of null from https://forum.islandearth.net/d/10-forge-modding-tutorial-1-14-creating-custom-guis-1-3 but to be fair I haven't been completely following that.

On my block, I have

@Override
public ActionResultType onBlockActivated(BlockState state, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, PlayerEntity player, Hand handIn, BlockRayTraceResult p_225533_6_) {
    Minecraft.getInstance().displayGuiScreen(new MyGUI());
    return ActionResultType.SUCCESS;
}

The log shows nothing abnormal, doesn't mention GUI/crashing and only has an error that I force close the game.

 

How do you construct it normally? That was really the only method I could find to create one from a string, sorry if I'm overlooking something here

Thank you for your response! I've changed some things:

on the GUI, I now use 

super(new StringTextComponent("My GUI"));

and to launch it, I use

@Override
    public ActionResultType onBlockActivated(BlockState state, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, PlayerEntity player, Hand handIn, BlockRayTraceResult p_225533_6_) {
        if (worldIn.isRemote()) {
            DistExecutor.runWhenOn(Dist.CLIENT, () -> () -> Minecraft.getInstance().displayGuiScreen(new MyGUI()));
        }
        return ActionResultType.SUCCESS;
    }

Now it crashes with a NullPointerException, not freezing this time: it just goes to 'Saving World' and crashes on the renderBackground method

java.lang.NullPointerException: Rendering screen
	at net.minecraft.client.gui.screen.Screen.renderBackground(Screen.java:367) ~[forge-1.15.2-31.1.46_mapped_snapshot_20200225-1.15.1-recomp.jar:?] {re:classloading,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A}
	

 

Thank you! It now loads the GUI, but there's still a problem...

Have I created the button wrongly?

 

public class MyGUI extends Screen {
    public MyGUI() {
        super(new StringTextComponent("My GUI"));
    }

    @Override
    public void init() {
        this.addButton(new Button(this.width/2-100, this.height/2-50,200, 100, "Click me!", (button) -> this.onClose()));
    }

    @Override
    public void render(int p_render_1_, int p_render_2_, float p_render_3_) {
        this.renderBackground();
        super.render(p_render_1_, p_render_2_, p_render_3_);
        this.drawCenteredString(this.font, "Yes, click it!", this.width/2, this.height/2 + 70, 0xFFFFFF);
    }
}

 

Thanks, it works!
