Setsumeisho

by ELBGG

Setsumeisho shows in-game instruction overlays to players, built for minigames and events that a server runs.

FabricForgeCustom license1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

A server sends instruction screens to clients, and each screen can carry a title, a subtitle, controls, a description and sections. Controls and descriptions can embed keyboard and mouse icons drawn from a custom icon font, and text supports Minecraft chat formatting codes such as bold and red, plus inline RRGGBB hex colors. Position values are normalized screen coordinates, with 0 0 at the top-left and 1 1 at the bottom-right.

Instruction files accept several language entries, such as es and en, so each player sees content in their own language. Translations can be generated automatically through the MyMemory API, or pre-generated with a command so clients receive the text without waiting when a screen opens. Timers with a configurable countdown and cinematic sequences can run alongside a screen, and a command array can execute in order when it opens.

The mod needs Lodestone. It runs on Fabric and Forge, and the server side also works on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur. Opening and scheduling instructions with commands requires operator permission level 2 or higher. Files are published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under a custom license, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Instruction overlays

    Screens with a title, subtitle, controls, description and sections are shown over the game for a chosen player group.

  2. Keyboard and mouse icons

    A custom icon font renders key and mouse glyphs inside controls and description text.

  3. Per-language content

    An instruction file holds several language entries, and each player receives the one matching their language.

  4. Timers and cinematics

    A countdown timer can be shown with a configurable duration, and cinematic sequences can play during a screen.

  5. Minimize and restore

    A post-process shader animates the overlay when it is minimized or brought back.

Questions

Does Setsumeisho need Lodestone?

Yes. Lodestone is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Setsumeisho on Fabric or Forge.

Can players join a server running Setsumeisho without installing it?

Only the server needs the mod for the server-side features to run, and clients need it to display the overlays.

Do players need operator permissions to see instructions?

No. Opening and scheduling instructions with commands requires operator permission level 2 or higher, while viewing them does not.

Which Minecraft versions does Setsumeisho support?

Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1, with the latest Fabric file for 1.21.1 and the latest Forge file for 1.20.1.
