VERION 1.1.0 UPWARDS REQUIRES CLOTH CONFIG API

Technically also needs Mod Menu mod to access the stuff cloth config adds

This mod has a simple premise: shortcuts.

Use

To use this mod is simple, click a button and it'll take you to the desired site (set in the config). By default this is, Curseforge, PlanetMC, Modrinth and YouTube.

This is changed through the use of the config file.

Config UI

But how do I use the config file (This is no longer required due to config UI, although needed to change button textures)?

Version 1.0.1 and onward use a .properties file, version 1.0.0 uses a .txt

The config file and directory is generated when you first load up the mod in <minecraft folder like ".minecraft">/config/usefulwidgets/config.txt, shown in figure 1 below.

FIGURE 1

Config Explained (refer to figure 1)

 The lines highlighted in yellow tell the game if it should load the button, or just ignore it

The lines highlighted in green refer to what link should be loaded when the button is pressed, this can be anything like a file directory (like "C://jeremy/pictures/crab.png), a steam shortcut url ("steam://rungameid/4000" for Gmod GAME MUST BE INSTALLED)  or just a web url (like "https://www.reddit.com").

The lines highlighted in blue refer to the texture the button should display (more on this lower down).

The lines highlighted in pink tell the game if it should close when the button is pressed. It must be set to "true" or "false", if its anything other than those it'll just set to "false".

Which button is which?

1, 2, 3, 4 (top to bottom, left to right).

Textures

The textures of each button can be customised. 

Here is a list of every texture and what you must write in "texture_<number>=..." to display them. The image doesn't show this (sorry), but all the text must be lower case and have ".png" at the end. An additional texture is one called "invisible.png" - I haven't included it on the infographic for obvious reasons. 

 Actual Parameter Names:

Resource Packs

Using a resource pack, you can add an infinite amount of extra buttons. All you need to do is make a resource pack which goes "assets/usefulwidgets/gui/" and then put your texture there.

You can even add a directory within this folder.

To load the texture in this example, you would write:

optional_subdirectory/fnaf.png

Reload Button

The button in the bottom left, that looks like a scuffed recycle sign, is the reload button. When you click it, it will reload the urls, the texture and whether or not the button should close the game.

Default Config 

This is all of it, I think. I'll update this if it turns out I forgot something.

Post in comments if you need me to re-explain something because this is very annoying to understand 

 Modpack usage

If you want to use this in a modpack, feel free to do so. Just be sure to  credit the mod and let me know in the comments
