Verses
by hbq2
Verses swaps the default Minecraft splash text for random Scripture verses, and adds options for how those verses are shown.
What it does
Verses replaces the yellow splash text on the title screen with a random Bible verse on each launch. Players can pick one of four verse versions, choose the color of the text, and change its rotation away from the default of minus 20 degrees. Random word obfuscation through the r formatting code is also available, along with a setting that controls how many words are randomized.
The mod runs on the client alone, so only the player's game needs it and servers do not. It is built for Fabric 1.21.4 – 1.21.10 and requires Fabric Language Kotlin. Cloth Config API adds an in-game settings screen, and Mod Menu gives access to it from the mods list. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
