How do I create a text GUI hud?

[InfinitePower563]

I’m new to coding with forge, so don’t just send me a github repo and say here. I want to know how to create a HUD with editable text. Can someone help please?

If you're looking to mod with Forge you'd better get used to reading source code and looking at how Vanilla, Forge, and other Mods do things, documentation is notoriously sparse and is outdated almost as fast as it gets written.

Then can you fork over a github please?

Vanilla source code cannot be published on Github, because it is copyrighted by Mojang.

That is the entire reason Forge's build system is so complex (decompilation, patches, etc.).

I meant the HUD mod not the decompiled source code.

What HUD? If you're looking for how vanilla renders it's HUD, you can find the vanilla source code in your project's libraries.

Like a little text box that has custom text

Subscribe to RenderOverlayEvent and render your text there with FontRenderer#drawString.

Make sure to check the component/type that is being rendered in the event.

Is RenderOverlayEvent static? Also, how do you register events. As I said, I’m new.

Which RenderOverlayEvent? RenderBlockOverlayEvent or RenderGameOverlayEvent?

[Draco18s]

Well, what's your text associated with? A block or the game overlay (HUD)?

Just some text, like "Hi".

That did not answer the question.
