Hej ya'll,

I really love the idea of being able to see the servers (Multiplayer-List) also when currently on a server. Unfortunately a rarely use that feature as It's really strange to not see the default screen with "Options...", "Disconnect", ... buttons when pausing the game.

To solve this, I'd suggest merging the "Menu" and "Multiplayer"-Tabs. That would result in seeing the default screen with the buttons mentioned above but also being able to scroll down which then will reveal the servers (Multiplayer-List)

Feel free to provide feedback and vote-up my suggestion if u feel the same!

Greetings,
~ baeni

    That's a good idea, but there are a few reasons it might not work. However, I am not a LabyMod developer, so they may be able to do this. I have coded mods in the past somewhat like LabyMod. This feature may not work, because of the following:

    ----It would need a new GUI. The current menu tab is a default GUI from Minecraft, so other mods utilize it. If you allow scrolling down to the multiplayer servers, this could break compatibility without proper instructions, which would make it a whole lot harder to code.
    ----Not good compatibility with other mods. A lot of mods add buttons to the pause menu in Minecraft, so if you were using the forge version of LabyMod with other mods as such, scrolling down could cause these added buttons to render incorrectly, possibly having them stay where they are even after scrolling or even crashing the game.
    ----Merging multiple GUIs. LabyMod has two GUIs for the server list, the custom and the public server lists. from what I know, these are separate GUIs and may need to both be merged into the scrolling render. This would make the feature even harder to code since there would have to be a position/alpha integration as well as swapping to a different GUI without really swapping.

    Sorry if that didn't make sense. Again, I am not a LabyMod developer, nor have I decompiled labymod and looked into the code, so I may be wrong on a few of these reasons. Also, It is a really good idea, and it would be really cool if added to the game.
    Thanks!
