Create Column Displays
by ___Woe___
Create Column Displays is a NeoForge addon for Create that lets Display Boards write text in columns as well as in the default horizontal lines.
What it does
The addon adds a second writing mode to Create Display Boards. Each board can be set to LINE or COLUMN, and that choice is shared by the whole connected board. Columns are filled top to bottom, while LINE mode keeps the horizontal behavior Create already uses. The mode is saved with the world and survives restructuring of the board.
The mod works with Create Display Links as well. A Vertical Display Link writes in COLUMN mode, and link controls for line and column numbers adjust to the board. Text can be set from named name tags and from Create clipboards, and column-wise text deletion removes text along the same vertical direction it was written.
The addon requires Create, and only the mod's own description states that full COLUMN functionality needs it on both client and server. It is an unofficial addon, affiliated with and endorsed by the Create developers, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the 1.0 file dated 2026-08-02.
Key features
Board-wide writing mode
A single LINE or COLUMN mode applies to every part of a connected Display Board at once.
Wrench mode selector
The Create wrench switches a board between LINE and COLUMN writing, so no separate tool is needed.
Vertical Display Links
A Display Link in COLUMN mode writes text vertically, from top to bottom, on the board it is attached to.
Name tags and clipboards
Named name tags and Create clipboards can supply text to vertical boards, in the same way they feed horizontal ones.
Visual client option
A client-side setting alters only how the board looks, and it has no effect on how text is written.

How it compares
Create: Jukebox Displays is released under the MIT License and runs on NeoForge 1.21.1 with client and server, so it adds jukebox display content rather than column writing. NavTable Coordinates is also under the MIT License and published for NeoForge 1.21.1 with client and server, and it shows coordinates rather than changing how boards write text. VoidFlow is server-side only and released under All rights reserved, so players need nothing installed on their side.
