Displayer
by Dysthy
Displayer is a Fabric client mod that shows custom text screens and in-game timers, with live countdowns and simple styling.
What it does
Displayer draws text displays on the client: a custom text screen with simple styling, live countdowns, and clean UI elements rendered directly in-game. Timers can show progress bars, and quest objectives with visual progress can be shown the same way. Players can also see interactive messages and use controls tied to the display.
On the player's screen, the result of a server or external system's data packets gets drawn after the mod receives them. Visual logic is handled locally on the client, so the server stays vanilla-compatible. Only the client needs it: servers run without it, and players join without installing anything.
Displayer is built for Fabric Loader and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, with 1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, first published on 2025-09-01 and last updated on 2026-04-28.
Key features
Custom text screen
A screen that shows custom text with simple styling support, so the layout can be tuned without extra tools.
Live countdowns
Timers count down in real time and can display progress bars alongside their values.
Data packet rendering
Elements drawn on screen come from custom data packets that a server or external system supplies.
Quest and objective display
Quests with objectives and visual progress can be shown on screen, with customizable server variables.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Server event timers
A server plugin sends countdown data, and players see the remaining time on screen during events or matches.
Quest tracking
Objectives and their progress appear in a text display that updates as an external system sends new data.
Who it’s for: Players who want on-screen timers or text panels, and server owners who pair the client mod with a plugin that sends data packets.
