command rendering

by sebastian0schmirl

Command Rendering lets a command draw entities, items, rectangles and text on a player's screen, with each drawn element tied to an ID that other commands can change or remove.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Rendering is driven by commands. Each element a command creates gets an ID, and later commands can modify or delete that entry by referring to the ID. The rendered element can be an entity, an item, a rectangle or a line of text, and each one takes its own screen coordinates, depth, scale and rotation settings. A text element also accepts a value written by another command, and entries can keep their values in scoreboards, which the mod currently implements as the storage option.

Rendering is for map makers, adventure pack authors and server owners who want on-screen markers, status panels or diagnostic overlays without a resource pack. Chat output from commands that run inside a command block is shown only when the gamerule commandBlockOutput is set to true. Created entries persist across play sessions, but they must be recreated after leaving the world, so the setup commands need to be in a function or command block that runs again when a world loads.

The mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 only, with a single file, 1.0.2 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-03-12. It is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The rendering is client-side work, and the mod runs on client and server: the server and every player need it to use the commands.

Key features

  1. Entity rendering

    Draws a chosen entity at screen coordinates, with its own depth, scale, roll, yaw and pitch values.

  2. Item rendering

    Shows an item on screen at a set position and scale, useful for icons and status markers.

  3. Rectangles and text

    Places filled rectangles and text lines on screen, with text scale and angle controls.

  4. Entry management by ID

    Each rendered element is given an ID that later commands use to modify its values or delete it.

  5. Values stored in scoreboards

    Text can be written from a stored value, and entry values can be kept in scoreboards with a chosen name.
