[1.15.2] How do I create a GUI?

[TheTank18]

I need it so that when I right-click a block, a GUI will pop up. I am new to modding, and I can't find anything that works online.

[Slastic]

Use onBlockActivated() to dectect when the user right-clicks a block

For example in the class which you put your block properties

Spoiler

    @Override
    public ActionResultType onBlockActivated(BlockState state, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, PlayerEntity playerIn, Hand handIn, BlockRayTraceResult hit) {
		// Code
        return super.onBlockActivated(state, worldIn, pos, playerIn, handIn, hit);
    }

 

 

What GUI? What is it supposed to be, just a simple gui with buttons? Or a container example your inventory.

 

I'm also new, but I help when I know I can

hey slastic, so where would you actually make it open the gui, like where do you actually input your gui into that code?

Override Block#onBlockActivated and open the GUI there.

If your GUI has a server-side container counter-part, use NetworkHooks::openGui on the server side (by checking if World#isRemote is false).
