UI Editor Tutorial 1: Start

UI Editor

The UI Editor is a powerful built-in visual editor provided by ldlib. You can use it to easily design your UI, use it in your own mods, or use it through KJS.

How to open the UI Editor

In general, you can open it by command/ldlib ui_editor, which will use ./minecraft/ldlib/.. as its workspace.

Main Screen

1. Menu: New/Save/Open UI projects. You can also import/export Resources here.
2. Configurator: Basically all the setup happens here.
3. Resources: available resources, e.g. color, texture, lang entries.

Create a new project

When you first use it, click it to create an empty UI project. (If you are making UI for MBD, select the MBD project)

No surprise, you'll see the follow case.

1. ToolBox: Contains all the available UI widgets(components).
2. Root Widget: The whole project has one and only one root widget, which is created by the system and you cannot delete it.
