demo.mp4

What works

• Rendering HTML
• Mouse input
• Keyboard input
• Java/JavaScript interop (implementation not shown)

QuickStart

This example can be run out of the box. Simply

• Clone this repo
• Run the gradle task runClient
• Join a world, any world
• Press right shift to open the demo GUI

General Modding

Audio

• Step 1 Place your audio file under assets/<modID>/sounds in .ogg format

• Step 2 Register your file in sounds.json with the following format

  "whatever.name":{
  "category": "master",
  "sounds":[
    {
      "name":"<modID>:my_sound","stream":false
    }
   ]
  }

The above will look for the file my_sound.ogg under assets/<modID>/sounds/ and make it accessible by whatever.name The category is trivial.

• Step 3 Play your sound file using the accessible name

    Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.playSound("<modID>:whatever.name", volume, pitch);

Notes

• You can play vanilla minecraft sounds with example above. Simply replace <modID> with minecraft. A complete list of vanilla sounds can be found here
• It's good practice to name audio files using snake case

Rendering Textures

Your image can be anywhere under assets/<modID>. Reference that image relatively in the code like so

    public static final ResourceLocation myImage = new ResourceLocation(MODID, path);

The above will look for an image at assets/<modID>/path. Drawing can then be done with the convenient RenderUtils class.

RenderUtils.drawTexture(resourceLocation, x, y, width, height, rgbaCombined);

If you are drawing without a gui active (aka directly to the screen), make sure to fix your x & y coordinates using the ScaledResolution class

Gradle tasks

• build Builds the mod into a usable jar file under build/libs
• runClient Runs the mod in minecraft on the fly
