Hello, is there a get method for screen width and height values? I need it to position my gui overlay.

You can access the MainWindow in Minecraft, then get the height and width from of it.

How do I access it though? MainWindow.getHeight() doesn't work/exist, and eclipse doesn't suggest any similar methods. Sorry for asking stupid questions, I'm quite new to modding in minecraft.

can't make a static reference to a non static method

public void onRenderGameOverlay(RenderGameOverlayEvent event) {
        if(!event.isCancelable() && event.getType() == ElementType.EXPERIENCE) {
            Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getInstance();
            if(!mc.player.isCreative()) {
                int posX = MainWindow.getHeight();
            
                
                    
                
                        
            }
        }

these methods aren't static, you need to call them on an instance, the Minecraft instance has an instance of MainWindow

edit: actually, the RenderGameOverlayEvent also has the MainWindow

if you're also quite new to programming, you may want to take some time learn some Object Oriented Programming concepts

I just thought about what I was trying to do and realized what a rookie mistake I made. I should've listened more carefully at uni.

 

Thanks for your quick replies guys.
