Teleprompter
by jagle
Teleprompter gives content creators and actors a script that scrolls on screen while they record, shown inside the game itself.
What it does
Scripts are plain text files that the mod reads and displays in-game, so a presenter can read stage directions and dialogue directly on screen during a screen recording without ever switching windows with Alt-Tab. Edits saved to the file with Ctrl + S appear in the teleprompter at once, because live file syncing reloads the content without a restart. A text editor for scripts is included as well.
The display is configurable: a pinned corner box can be placed on screen, it scales with the native Minecraft GUI scale, and box padding and text offsets can be fine-tuned in pixels. A highlighted active line moves down the page at a words-per-minute speed the user sets, and a line can be made to count down before the highlight advances. Markdown files are supported for bold, italic and underlined words.
The mod is client-side only, so it needs to be installed on the player's side and nowhere else. It runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 only, with Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu required. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are public. The first file was published on 2026-03-11, and the current Fabric build is 1.1.0.
Key features
Live file syncing
Changes saved to a script file show up in the in-game teleprompter right after saving, with no reload needed.
Dialogue formatting
Character names, dialogue and stage directions are detected automatically and colored differently, and each username can get its own color.
Line highlighter
The active line moves down the page at a customizable WPM speed, and a countdown can hold the highlight before the next line.
Page breaks and wait commands
A line of three dashes forces a page flip, paragraphs are kept whole across breaks, and lines such as WAIT 10 SECONDS pause the scroll.
