Textcreator
by ItsKoali
Textcreator lets map makers, server owners and event creators place custom text on screen, above a player's head or as titles and subtitles, with a configurable look.
What it does
Textcreator is a utility for showing custom text inside the game, aimed at map makers, server projects and event creators who need to show information or dialogue messages. Text can be placed on the screen, shown above a player's head, or displayed as a title and subtitle for a set time. One example places a message in the upper middle of the screen with no text shadow, on a background whose size can be scaled, with an opacity of 60 percent. Another example displays the word Hello above the head of the player Notch.
The mod also covers simpler needs: it can remove plain text from players, and its messages are customizable. It is suited to in-game tutorial systems, custom informational interfaces and on-screen subtitles. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1 across three release versions.
