ClickPoint
ClickPoint is a NeoForge utility for modpack creators who want to build data-driven GUI screens without writing Java code.
What it does
ClickPoint reads screen layouts from data files, so a modpack author can place buttons, text, images and panels, then bind them to actions. The mod is aimed at modpack creators who need custom menus but do not write mods themselves. Its editor supports grid snapping toggles, and placeholders let a label show a value that updates while the screen is open. Commands can be attached to a click, so a button can run a server command as well as change the screen.
The mod supports native GIF rendering, with animation driven by the client life cycle events. Three-dimensional renders can be shown in a screen for viewing models and objects. Both the client and the server run ClickPoint: the screens are drawn on the client, while the commands and data they trigger are handled on the server, so the server and every player need it.
ClickPoint is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source and public. Files are published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, with BETA-1.0.0 as the latest file, dated 2026-06-06. The first and last update are on the same day. Features listed as planned are not part of the current release.
Key features
Data-driven screens
Screen layouts are described in data files, so new menus can be added without changing the mod's code.
GIF rendering
Animated GIF images are drawn inside screens, with playback handled during the client's life cycle events.
Command execution
A clickable element can run a command, which lets a button trigger server actions such as giving an item.
Placeholders
Text elements can contain placeholders that are replaced with live values when the screen is displayed.
Grid snapping editor
The layout editor offers grid snapping toggles, so elements line up cleanly while a screen is arranged.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
Web's Node Library is a NeoForge library for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, released under the MIT License and open source. ImageFrame is also NeoForge 1.21.1 and client and server, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. ClickPoint is the open source option of the three for data-driven screens, while ImageFrame covers image display in a closed package.
