Head back to the archive." cta="Back to the archive" href="/archive" /> );}Without the image

without-the-image.tsx
import NotFound1 from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/not-found1";export function GameNotFoundPage() { return ( <NotFound1 title="Quest complete?" description="There is no page here, but you can return to the game." cta="Return to the game" href="/game" imageSrc="" className="min-h-screen" /> );}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
classNamestring—Optional class name merged onto the outer container.
ctastring"Return to Home Page"Text displayed inside the button-style link.
descriptionstring"This room doesn't exist. Turn back before it's too late."Supporting text shown below the heading.
hrefstring"/"Destination passed to the Next.js Link rendered inside the button.
imageSrcstring"/images/8bit-ogre.png"Source passed to next/image. A falsy value, such as an empty string, hides the image.
titlestring"You made the Ogre angry!"Heading shown below the 404 code and optional image.
Accessibility
- The page message is presented as an h1 heading, with the description as paragraph text.
- The call to action is a Next.js link rendered through the Button component, so its visible text provides the link’s accessible name.
- The image has the fixed alt text "404"; the component does not expose a prop for customizing it.
- Set imageSrc to an empty string to omit the image when it is unnecessary or unavailable.
