RLBubbles
RLBubbles puts short chat bubbles above mobs and villagers, including modded entities, to display floating text.
What it does
Mobs can show short floating messages above their heads, in the style of the older Dynamic Surroundings feature that inspired it. The text comes from data-driven dialogue and lore entries, so messages are set per mob type through datapacks, letting modpacks and servers add their own lines and jokes. The mod runs on the client alone, so only players need it. Files are published for Forge, for 1.20.1 only, under the MIT License as open source.
