Displadium
by sonima
Displadium gives players Display and Controller blocks plus a Wire item, so a computer can drive custom screens and control panels inside the game.
What it does
A Display block renders the graphics it receives, while a Controller block links a computer to the display and sends it code. The Wire item connects these components, and the wiring follows realistic rules: each connection needs a proper positive and negative side before the circuit works. The mod is published for Forge only, for six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
The mod is built around Lua programming. The in-game tutorial lists the available Lua commands with their exact usage, covering points, emitted trails, lines and rotated lines. Colors are set as RRGGBB or as separate r, g, b values, and glow, size, alpha, speed, trail and subtick values control how each drawn element looks. Files are published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0r for 1.20.6 as the latest Forge file, released on 2026-03-20.
