i finally did it!

the first part of my index mod is semi-finished!

this screen is supposed to be the place where you search for a block/item and find out which of your tracked chests contain it.

is it neat?

yes!!!

is it useful?

hopefully!!! >w<

it’s not doing the actual searching yet, but getting the first custom screen working already feels like a huge step.

WOA! what next?

well… i still don’t really know :(

there are a few things i want to work on next:

• chest coloring — i was thinking about adding a keybind (something like CTRL + SHIFT + Right Click) that opens a menu where you can choose a color for your chest.

  the main question is: how do i actually change the chest texture?

  my current idea is to use a black and white version of the normal chest texture and replace the white parts with the color chosen by the player.

• search list button — currently it does nothing, but the idea is that it will show a small popup containing all the items the player wants to search for.

• actual chest tracking/searching — probably the most important part. eventually the mod needs to know what chests exist and what items are inside them.

• and more things i haven’t thought of yet because that’s how development works TwT

small progress is still progress

minecraft modding has been a pretty interesting learning experience so far. the documentation can be confusing sometimes, but seeing something you made appear inside the game is really motivating.

thank you for reading cool person!!

see you in the next devlog >w<
