Sloths Display Entity Editor
by SlothyUwU
Sloths Display Entity Editor lets server operators and players create, move, scale, rotate and delete display entities in survival, using a magical command book.
What it does
The mod adds a magical command book that acts on display entities. Crafting it takes three amethyst shards and a copper ingot, and once it is in hand the holder can create Block and Item displays, highlight the nearest one, and change its billboard mode to fixed, vertical, horizontal or center. Placing an item in the offhand turns it into a Block or Item display, and the entity removes itself when picked back up.
The book also edits the nearest display entity: moving it, scaling it, rotating it, deleting it, changing its block properties and overriding sky or block lighting. Rotation uses the Quack Eroxen code. Because survival players can run these commands without creative mode or a datapack, the mod suits servers that want builders to edit displays while keeping item costs in balance. Declarative UI by CJDev is listed as compatible.
The mod is server-side required and client optional, so the server must run it and players may add it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, but the latest build for 26.3 is the one the author recommends. Builds below 26.3 are the versions that work well, while the build maintained for 26.3 and later is noted as buggy. The mod is licensed under AGPL-1.0-only and is not open source.
Key features
Create and delete displays
The command book creates Block and Item displays and deletes the nearest one, even in survival mode.
Offhand item conversion
Holding one item in the offhand turns it into a display entity, and picking the entity back up returns the item.
Move, scale and rotate
The nearest display entity can be moved, scaled and rotated from the command book.
Lighting override
Sky and block lighting on a display can be overridden without a datapack.

How it compares
Survival Displays is a server-side required option with a custom license that is not open source, published for 1.21.5 – 26.3. I Editor is server-side required, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.6 – 26.3 on all four loaders. Display Entity Studio is client-side only, not open source and built for 26.2 on Fabric alone, so it differs in where it runs.
