Comprehensive GUI Links and Tutorials Thread for your Plugins

Hello Bukkit,

I have been searching for a thread like this for a while, and have decided to post one myself. I am putting together a list of all GUIs that are easily edited for use in your plugins, and adding links with tutorials/screenshots. Some are sourced/built into Bukkit, and some are standalone APIs for use with your plugins.

META BAR (TOOLTIP POPUPS)

XP BAR

IMAGE VIA photobucket

Simple code developed by me:

Code:java

int level = 2
float bar = 0.1 //up to 1, fills the bar "percentage" 
player.setLevel(level);
player.setExp(bar);

setLevel sets the experience level (the number)
setExp sets experience towards next level (the bar)

All tutorials and images are owned/created by their respective parties. I did not create these tutorials

 

Excelent post! It will help a lot some people.

 

Anvil: Maybe this?

 

MineKayama, that is useful for events, but that code doesn't let you customize any of the anvil in the way of a GUI. Will add that though (someone will find a use for it)

ArthurMaker I hope so! Thanks!

 

ccrama
Hmm, maybe try a search in the index instead of a "link hub"

 

really good post will help alot ty

XP Bar link?

 

darkness1999, it's not more of a link, but I will post my own code that I developed for use under that in just a second

EDIT: Added anvil GUI by chasechocolate. This allows you to get strings from user input!

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

ccrama Player.setExp() takes a float from 0 - 1 for bar progress, not 0 - 200 or such as you're doing in your example.

 

And his variable naming conventions are wrong.

macguy8 Garris0n Thanks for finding that... Fixing asap.

EDIT: Fixed in OP

 

Thank You! This is insanely helpful.
