i have always wanted a mod that could make minecraft use 2 screens or 2 windows.
while you play, you can always see your inventory on the second window (most likely on a second screen) .
if you do it this way you could have a gui scale and a hud scale, so you could change the scale of the gui while viewing it and your player hud would be set where the gui scale use to be. this would make it where the guis can be changed to easily be viewed on the screen (helpful for modded{steves carts...})
what i mean: if you click on a crafting table or any block with a gui, the gui that would normally show on your main screen would be shown on the seperate window. the main screen with the player in it would have the chat box up as if you hit the t button.
it would also be nice if you could open 2 guis at one time. a machine and a modded bag.
drag from the bag to the machine.
you could use ctrl right click to open a gui in the seperate window and open a gui in your normal window to transfer straight between 2 guis

I voted with magic from the 7th dimension because that would involved somehow getting any 2 item handling gui's to be able to talk to each other. It's probably possible for some coding master, but people like me will need another few years before I can even begin to think how to start this. Intercepting all packets to somehow check if they are a gui, bleh it scares me to even think about trying...
I mean it would probably be easier to have 2 open and interact through the player, as in it can only go from the player to any given machine, not machine to machine, but still. I doubt you will find anyone willing to do this tbh. :/

This is very interesting. I like the concept. All you would need to do is draw a new window with a GUI and display whatever you want. The real problem is clicking between the two windows. It Will want to tab out of fullscreen if Minecraft is in fullscreen mode. And dragging between the two would be hard since anything dragged from window 2 would stop at the boundaries of window 2 and wouldn't be able to register any information between the two windows. Maybe if you had the gui's dynamically drawn. IE your inv is always shown but if you're near a furnace it will pop up on the screen near the inv. This would eliminate the dragging between two windows problem. This is a Diamond, but right now it's a coal. You need to refine what you already have and maybe you can roll in the modder money.

the usefulness is limitless.
i realize this may be a hard thing to do...
