Feature request - Overlay #85

Open inconstxpr opened 4 years ago

inconstxpr commented 4 years ago

It would be very nice to have a way to render a webpage as an overlay. That would make it possible to create custom HUDs. A keybind could be added to disable your camera control and give you a cursor.

do I understand correctly that you want to render pages in the whole Minecraft window? just like wiki page?

inconstxpr commented 4 years ago

Pretty much, but in a way that doesn't take away your controls, just renders the page over the whole window with alpha blending and gives you a key to enable the cursor.

The use case I'm thinking of is making an interactive helmet overlay kind of thing.

take a look at MinePad tool

inconstxpr commented 4 years ago

But the MinePad works like a tablet, I was looking for something like the Computercraft's Terminal Glasses that are drawn over your default view.

For example on this image, the bars on the top left are just rendered over the screen. image
