Fancy Messages
by SkelMaxim
Fancy Messages lets modpack authors show styled on-screen messages to players, triggered by quests and other in-game events.
What it does
Messages are written by a pack author and shown on a player's screen, with the text set off by quotation marks. The mod is built to tie into FTB Quests, so a message can fire when a quest is completed, and it can also be sent when a player enters a biome. Admin-level commands let a server operator trigger a message by hand.
Because messages display on the client, only the player's own game needs the mod to show them. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with a single build for 1.21.1 dated 2024-10-28, and it is released under the MIT License, which means it is not open source. FTB Quests is required for quest-based messages, so it has to be installed alongside this mod.
Some setups conflict with the mod, so the author asks pack makers to test it with their own combination of mods before release.
