Location Tooltip
by The Orchard
Location Tooltip shows the name of the current area at the top of the screen as a player moves between regions defined on a server or in a world.
What it does
The mod draws a label across the top of the screen that displays the region a player is currently in. When the player crosses a region boundary, the label changes with a fade transition. Regions can be defined in full XYZ, so boundaries can include height, and they can be nested, with priority deciding which name shows when regions overlap.
The label suits shopping districts, themed zones, player-run stores and points of interest, where a district can list individual shop names such as a bakery or a weapons section. A click-and-drag editor helps set region boundaries without typing coordinates by hand. The color, size, position and style of the label can be adjusted.
Installation needs Fabric API. Cloth Config API, Mod Menu and Waystones are optional. Only the client needs the mod, and a server can add it for extra features. The code is open source under the MIT License, and files are published for Fabric across 7 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, with 0.6.1+26.2 for 26.2 as the latest file.
