🤔

It'll just be a "Rent Server" button in the Main menu. Is it too much? :/

[MaxNeedsSnacks]

Nah I'm just joking around lol

[NielsPilgaard]

Oh okay xD

[MaxNeedsSnacks]

If it's something similar to "MineTogether" where they have like CreeperHost ads that's definitely okay

[NielsPilgaard]

It should be more low key, I'll put the finished result here :)

Wouldn't you want this to be a separate button (for instance) the bottom right of the screen? Then the button width/text alignment would not be an "issue".

[NielsPilgaard]

I'm thinking I'll shorten the text that is displayed when hovering over the button to BisectHosting so it fits better. I think a separate button would be too intrusive.

[Frikkle]

I just played around with it a little; personally I don't think it's too intrusive down there. (apart from the button style having to be adjusted, but I was lazy)

Code

"hosting":
{
    "text" : "Sponsored by Bisect Hosting",
    "posX" : -185,
    "posY" : -35,
    "width": 160,
    "height": 20,
    "alignment" : "bottom_right",
    "action" : 
    {
        "type" : "openLink",
        "link" : "https://discord.gg/HnWNd7X"
    }
}

Hm that does look pretty good.

[Frikkle]

Obviously the link in the snippet should be adjusted; as should the text color, button background and button texture. And a new semi-transparent box should be created to get the same look and feel as the other menu. But it's not that invasive.
