Connecting the Screen to the Client​

This is really important because your client needs to know that the block entity you are clicking on, actually has a screenhandler and how to render that screenhandler.

ClientModInitializer​

To do this you need a class that implements ClientModInitializer, in my case ExampleModClient. Implement the onClientInitialize() method.

The following line adds the screen from the client:


HandledScreens.register(ModScreenHandlers.EXAMPLE_SCREEN_HANDLER, ExampleScreen::new);

Full method:


@Override
public void onInitializeClient() {
    [... Other client stuff ...]
    HandledScreens.register(ModScreenHandlers.EXAMPLE_SCREEN_HANDLER, ExampleScreen::new);
    [... Other client stuff ...]
}

This is dependent on the fabric.mod.json file in resources. To let fabric know that this class exists, add this to your fabric.mod.json under the entrypoints section:


"client": [
	"your.path.to.ModClient"
]
