Server Utilities
by URLTK
Server Utilities brings server-style menus, holograms, villager characters and text styling into a single-player or personal world on Fabric.
What it does
Server Utilities aims to recreate some decorative features found on many Minecraft servers, so that a player can use them in their own world. The main menu is opened with H by default, and the Item Styler, which opens from an automatically toggled widget on the anvil screen, is bound to K. Other hotkeys start unbound and can be set by the player.
The mod is intended for single-player use, where it emulates server aesthetics. Holograms can carry several lines with styling and sizes tied to a block entity, and blocks can be outlined in a Hologram Edit mode. Villagers can be given custom chat dialogue, embedded inventories or shops, and particle effects, and their menus are reached through the placement and edit tools. The author notes that using it on an actual server is at the server owner's own risk. The client and server both need the mod, and the source code is published under the MIT License, so the code is open source.
