Controllers
In-depth review of Controllers.
Built-in controllers
This is an incomplete list of controllers!
There are many different built-in controllers to get you set up quickly.
BooleanController
A toggleable controller that displays a different Text
based on the state of the option.
.controller(BooleanControllerBuilder::create)
valueFormatter
parameter is a function to returnText
based on the state of the option. (optional)coloured
parameter is a boolean that colours the returned text red or green based on the state. (optional)
To pass extra parameters, you need to construct a BooleanController
like so.
.controller(opt -> BooleanControllerBuilder.create(opt)
.valueFormatter(val -> val ? Component.literal("Amazing") : Component.literal("Not Amazing"))
.coloured(true))
TickBoxController
A toggleable controller that displays a tick box.
.controller(TickBoxControllerBuilder::create)
There are no optional parameters for this controller.
<Number>SliderController
Replace <Number>
with either Double
, Float
, Integer
and Long
.
Slider controllers take a minimum, a maximum and a step for the slider in their respected number types.
.controller(opt -> FloatSliderController.create(opt)
.range(0, 10)
.step(1)
.valueFormatter(val -> Component.literal(val + " ticks"))) // sliders can also take a formatter
EnumController
A controller that allows you to cycle through Enum constants.
.controller(opt -> EnumControllerBuilder.create(opt)
.enumClass(Alphabet.class))
Enums can implement the NameableEnum
interface to automatically name each constant without a value formatter function.
public interface Alphabet implements NameableEnum {
A,
B,
C;
@Override
public Component getDisplayName() {
return Component.translatable("mymod.alphabet." + name().toLowerCase());
}
}
Or alternatively, just pass a valueFormatter
to the controller as usual;
.controller(opt -> EnumControllerBuilder.create(opt)
.enumClass(Alphabet.class)
.valueFormatter(v -> Component.translatable("mymod.alphabet." + v.name().toLowerCase())))
StringController
An input box that allows users to input text as a String
. This allows for highlighting text with the keyboard and strings that are longer than the option itself, similarly to Minecraft's EditBox
.controller(StringControllerBuilder::create)
This controller has no arguments, though its functionality can be extended by creating your own controller, implementing IStringController
, more on this here.
ColorController
A controller that allows users to input colors as RGB hex format, with a preview.
.controller(ColorControllerBuilder::create)
allowAlpha
parameter adds an alpha channel to the hex format as RGBA.
.controller(opt -> ColorControllerBuilder.create(opt)
.alpha(true))
<Number>FieldController
Replace <Number>
with either Double
, Float
, Long
or Integer
.
Similar to StringController
, but forces a number format, doubles and floats allow decimals, but longs and integers do not.
.controller(<Number>SliderControllerBuilder::create)
It also has a optional range where you can specify the upper and lower bound if necessary. And like usual has a value formatter.
.controller(opt -> <Number>SliderControllerBuilder.create(opt)
.min(0).max(10)
.valueFormatter(...))
