Introducing "Forge Close GUI" for Java Developers

If you are a Java developer working with the Forge modding API, you might be aware of the need to close GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) after they are opened. This is often necessary to prevent memory leaks and improve the performance of your mod.

"Forge Close GUI" is a simple library that provides an easy-to-use method for closing GUIs in Forge mods. With just a few lines of code, you can close any GUI that is currently open and free up the memory it was using.

How to Use "Forge Close GUI"

To use "Forge Close GUI", you will need to add the library to your project. You can do this by adding the following lines to your build.gradle file:

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "com.github.Username:RepoName:Tag"
}

Replace Username, RepoName, and Tag with the appropriate values for the library you want to use. You can find these values on the library's GitHub page.

Once you have added the library to your project, you can use the GuiUtils class to close any open GUIs. Here is an example of how to use this class to close a GUI:

if (Minecraft.getMinecraft().currentScreen != null) {
    GuiUtils.closeGui();
}

In this example, we first check if there is a GUI currently open (Minecraft.getMinecraft().currentScreen != null). If there is, we call the closeGui() method from the GuiUtils class to close the GUI.

That's all there is to it! By using "Forge Close GUI" in your Forge mod, you can ensure that GUIs are properly closed and prevent memory leaks from occurring.

Conclusion

"Forge Close GUI" is a powerful tool for Java developers working with the Forge modding API. With its simple API, you can easily close any open GUIs in your mod and improve your mod's performance. So why not give it a try today?
