HoloGui

by McJty

HoloGui is a Forge library for building holographic graphical interfaces that players open in the world.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.12.2

What it does

HoloGui lets mod authors add holographic GUIs to Minecraft. Its interfaces are used with blocks, can be opened as standalone screens by pressing a hotkey, and can be mounted on other entities. The author describes the goal as an immersive way for players to handle a range of tasks. The mod was spun off from the Ariente mod, and Ariente and Ariente World require it.

HoloGui needs McJtyLib to run, and The One Probe is optional. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge 1.12.2 only, under the MIT License, and the code is open source. The author notes that the API is still in beta and may change.

Key features

  1. Holographic interfaces

  2. Block and hotkey access

    Interfaces can be tied to blocks or opened as standalone screens with a hotkey.

  3. Entity mounting

    Holographic GUIs can be mounted on other entities, not only on blocks.
