Create: Display Regex
by niujiao1121
Create: Display Regex lets a Display Link rewrite its text output with Java regular expressions before the text reaches a flap display or other target.
What it does
Each Display Link gains a Regex configuration button that opens a screen with separate Pattern and Replacement fields. Players enable or disable the processing for each link on its own, and capture groups such as $1 and $2 can be used in the replacement. Invalid patterns and replacement expressions are flagged while they are typed, and invalid rules are rejected when saved, so a broken rule cannot replace the output.
Changes apply only to what a display receives. The source block data stays as it was, and settings are stored inside the existing configuration of the Display Link. Create: Display Regex needs Create and Fabric API, and it is a Fabric addon for the Create Fly mod family. It runs on client and server, and the server needs it installed for clients to configure the rules. Files are published for Fabric for 26.2 only, with version 0.1.1 as the latest file from 2026-08-14, under the MIT License; the code is not open source.
Key features
Regex replacement on Display Links
Text produced by a Display Link can be changed with a configurable regular-expression replacement before it is sent to the display.
Per-link configuration
Each Display Link has its own Regex screen, with separate Pattern and Replacement fields and a switch to enable or disable processing.
Capture groups and live checks
Java regular expressions and capture groups such as $1 and $2 are supported, and invalid patterns are highlighted while they are being edited.
Output-only changes
Rules affect only the text that reaches the display target, so the source block data remains unchanged.
