Rainbow - cycling colors

Neon - SDF glow halo

Typewriter - character-by-character reveal

Glitch - digital distortion

Matrix - scramble and resolve

Shatter - text breaks apart

*Click any preview - every effect has an animated example in the docs.*

  • Neon Glow: SDF-based halos around glyphs, with color, radius, softness, and pulse control
  • Animations: Typewriter text, obfuscate reveal/hide, scrolling marquees
  • Message Effects: Whole-message motion like slam, shatter, matrix, slide, breathe, and spin
  • Markup Parser: XML-style tags for easy text styling <rainbow>, <wave>;, <neon>, [slam]
  • MSDF Font Rendering: Crisp TrueType/OpenType fonts at any scale using Multi-Channel Signed Distance Fields with sharp corner reproduction

For Developers

Embers Text API provides a full Java API for sending styled messages from the server. Register custom effects, parse markup, or build spans programmatically.

Check the documentation for integration guides and API reference.

For Pack Devs

  • This is a library/api mod, it does nothing in gameplay on its own, but the command system lets you create and test effects in-game, and the inline markup (like <rainbow> or <neon>) styles item names, tooltips, and quest descriptions!
  • Safe to include in any pack.
  • Great for quest descriptions, tips, boss introductions, or any stylish text overlay.
  • Works with KubeJS and datapacks! v3 includes built in KubeJS support!
