Roleplayer's Dice
by Glam_Ardor
Roleplayer's Dice changes how the dice roll the roleplay server sends appears on screen, so a player sees the throw before the result arrives in chat.
What it does
The roll itself is decided on the server at the moment the command is sent, and the mod only holds the chat line back. A die shows up at the centre of the display, labelled with the name of what is being rolled. It turns slowly, shivers and hops for a couple of seconds, then lands with a rattle. The chat line reaches the screen once the die has landed, with the number the server rolled.
The server never has to know the mod exists, because the command goes to the server untouched and the server answers with its usual text, for example a character name, a strength blow and the result out of 20. Nothing about the roll is changed. Fabric API is required. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional and add configuration and a menu entry. The mod runs on the client only, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so the code is open source. Builds cover 1.20.5 – 1.21.11, and the latest Fabric file is 1.1.2 for 1.21.11.
Key features
Held chat line
The server's dice result is kept back until the throw ends, so the number is not visible before the die lands.
Throw animation
A die tumbles in the middle of the screen with its roll name above it, then settles on the face the server chose.
Hold to throw
Holding the button lifts the die into the player's hand, and releasing it sends the die flying where the hand is aimed.
Rolled text and sound
The die can show a colour glow and sound effects while it rolls, so the throw has visible feedback.

What the author says
Your roleplay server prints [13 out of 20] in the chat. This mod holds that line back, throws a die for it, and lets the line through once the die has landed on the thirteen. Client side only. The server is never told the mod exists, needs no plugin, and nothing about the roll changes – the number was decided the…
