Bland UI
by NymNux
Bland UI is a Fabric library of GUI widgets and screens that other client mods can build their interfaces from.
What it does
The library supplies basic interface parts: buttons, sliders, labels, edit boxes, switch buttons, and containers such as panels and empty screens. It also includes prebuilt screens, including a color picker, a string input screen and an entry list screen. Its name reflects a deliberately small scope, since it covers the most basic GUI elements and leaves styling mostly to the code that uses it. Because it is a library, it adds no gameplay content of its own. It is used by 9 catalog mods, including Chat Channel, Fishing Timer and Auto Sprint. Bland UI runs on the client only, so servers do not need it.
