Render HUD Text

Note

When drawing text on screen you should use RenderGameOverlayEvent.

Meowtils.drawString(String text, int x, int y, float scale, int color)

Draws a string on screen, font will depend on what is selected in the Settings Module.

Render several lines

int y = 10;
for (String line : lines) {
    Meowtils.drawString(line, 10, y, 1, -1);
    y += Meowtils.offsetString(1);
}

If we want to render a list of strings from an array we can easily do so this way.

Meowtils.offsetString(float scale)

This will automatically calculate the required offset depending on font type and text scale.

Example

Tip

You should check Minecraft.getMinecraft().currentScreen to limit drawing your text so it only shows up when you want it to, like in the example below which will only draw the text when no GUI is open.

@EventTarget
public void onRenderGameOverlay(RenderGameOverlayEvent event) {
    if (mc.theWorld == null) return;
    if (mc.currentScreen != null) return;

    final String[] lines = {
            "Meow!",
            "Meow2!",
            "Meow3!"
    };

    int y = 10;

    for (String line : lines) {
        Meowtils.drawString(line, 10, y, 1, -1);
        y += Meowtils.offsetString(1);
    }
}
