Bento GUI is an expressive GUI library that makes building dynamic screens fast and easy. It is a replacement for Minecraft’s UI widgets that is inspired by HTML and CSS.
Features:
- Many UI elements provided out of the box
- Build elements using the builder pattern
- Robust layout engine with min/max and auto-computed dimensions
- Customizable element rendering
Bento GUI is documented in-code with JavaDocs and on my wiki.
