Creating your first screen

Now that you created your first script, its time to train you further!

First of all, add the following line to your script:

local gui = Minecraft.CreateNewGUI("Lua Screen")
Minecraft.AddClientLoadedListener(function() 
    gui.Display()
end)

warning

Displaying a GUI before the game starts will cause a crash of the game.

Minecraft.CreateNewGUI takes a string, which is narrated when the player enters the GUI. This will then create a new GUI for you to use.

Minecraft.AddClientLoadedListener takes a function, which is called once the player enters the title screen.

info

The function provided in Minecraft.AddClientLoadedListener is always called when the player enters the title screen, regardless of whether it's the first time or not.

And, gui.Display displays the GUI.
