Menus, HUDs & renderers

Project	Holds
Scene	Menus players open — by command, from another menu, or from logic.
HUDs	Always-on HUD canvases, on screen while players play, and Popup canvases you show by command. See HUDs.

Every menu screen is one of two kinds. You pick it when you add the screen, and it can't be changed later.

Kind
Shader-Safe	Drawn over the player's view. Works with any shader pack or mod. The cursor is moved by the server. Recommended.
Standard	Drawn in the world in front of the player, with a cursor the client moves with no delay. Doesn't work with shader packs (Iris, OptiFine).
