(Unless someone declared their dependencies wrong or forgot to include it)<\/p>\n<p>### For Mod Developers <\/p>\n<p>##### Inclusion in your project<\/p>\n<p>This library is published at https:\/\/maven.axolotlclient.com.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`gradle<br \/>\ndependencies {<br \/>\n  modImplementation(include(&#8220;io.github.axolotlclient.rendering:AxolotlClient-rendering:VERSION+MINECRAFT_VERSION&#8221;))<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>Note: you may omit the `include` statement if you do not want to embed this library into your mod. Make sure to declare your dependencies correctly for launchers to download the library in that case.<\/p>\n<p>> Tip: replace `modImplementation` with `modApi` if you&#8217;re writing a library that uses this one!<\/p>\n<p>##### General Usage<\/p>\n<p>Most methods of this library are accessible using Minecraft&#8217;s `GuiGraphics` class via the injected `GuiGraphicsExtension` interface.<br \/>\nOn 1.8.9, since there is no `GuiGraphics` class you should obtain a `GuiGraphicsExtension` using `DrawUtil.get()`.<br \/>\nAll methods exposed via this way are prefixed with `axolotlclient_rendering`.<\/p>\n<p>Fonts can be loaded using `Font.read(&#8230;)`. If you&#8217;re using a variant font<br \/>\nthis will automatically read the variants and make use of them appropriately,<br \/>\nhowever the font features supported by FreeType directly are rather limited.<br \/>\nIf a specific feature is provided by a separate font file (for example an *italic* or<br \/>\n**bold** variant) they can be added using `Font#addSubFont`, specifying in which conditions it should be used<br \/>\n(some tags and values can be found as static definitions in the `Font` class).<\/p>\n<p>### Projects that use this library<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; AxolotlClientConfig<br \/>\n&#8211; AxolotlClient<\/p>\n<p>> Your project makes use of this library and you would like it to appear here? Let us know!<\/p>\n<p>### FAQ<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>I&#8217;m using this library on 1.20.1 and the font looks bad<\/p>\n<p>A: Because Minecraft 1.20.1 uses lwjgl 3.3.1 which did not have Freetype bindings yet this library uses STB_Truetype, which does not support hinting (there may also be other bugs we don&#8217;t know about).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>But doesn&#8217;t 1.8.9 use lwjgl2 which is also below 3.3.2?<\/p>\n<p>A: Indeed, however with legacy-lwjgl3 we can run it on lwjgl 3.3.6 where we do have bindings to Freetype.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be possible to use a newer lwjgl on 1.20.1 as well?<\/p>\n<p>A: Yes, but this is more difficult, increases the jar size even further and will produce incompatibilities with mods like sodium which check for which lwjgl version they&#8217;re running on.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00b9See FAQ, answer #1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AxolotlClient&#8217;s GUI rendering library.
