Overlayer
by Skrepy2233
Overlayer lets players place custom images over the game screen, with control over each image's position, scale, opacity and layer order.
What it does
Each image is added as an entry in a settings screen, where its position, size, transparency and stacking order can be adjusted with sliders. A live preview updates as values change, so the result is visible right away. Images can be set to show only during play or only on the main menu, which keeps them out of screens where they are not wanted.
Overlayer reads a wide set of formats, including PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIF, ICO and PCX, through an image processing library. It is a client-side mod: only the player's client needs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge. Builds exist for 1.20 – 26.3, with fabric-26.2 for 26.2 and neo-1.0.2 for 26.3 as the latest files. The mod is open source under the MIT License.

Live preview
Changes made with the sliders appear on the screen immediately, so adjustments can be judged as they are made.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to place their own images over the game, for streams, screenshots, or reference material while building. Because the mod runs on the client, it works on single-player and on multiplayer servers without any server-side install.
