What it does

The mod is a datapack that simplifies placing and modifying display entities in a world. It is built for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and covers game versions 1.19.4 – 1.21.1, with snapshot builds also published. Servers must run it, while players may leave it out, since only the server needs it to work. Released under the MIT License, it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Datapack-based placement

    Display entity placement and modification is handled through a datapack, so changes need no additional code.

  2. Simpler modification

    Editing existing display entities is made easier, reducing the steps needed to adjust them in a world.

  3. Public issue tracker

    The author publishes an issue tracker where bug reports and requests for the mod can be filed.
