About this project

What does HexColorText add?

Hex Text

HexText extends Minecraft 1.7.10's font renderer with real RGB colors, gradients, outlines, shadows, animated text effects, styled item names, styled lore, GUI text support, and RPG-style utility systems.

It started as a simple hex color renderer, but has grown into a visual/RPG toolkit for heavily modded Minecraft 1.7.10 setups.

Installation

HexText requires **UniMixins**.

It can be installed on both:

  • Client
  • Server

Some visual features require the client to have the mod installed.

Main Features

Feature Description
RGB Hex Colors Use real colors like <#FFAA00>Gold Text</#>.
Gradients Create smooth multi-color text with <grad>.
Animated Text Supports scrolling gradients, rainbow text, motion effects, and FX layers.
Vanilla Codes Supports normal Minecraft & / § formatting codes.
Styled Items Custom item names, lore, rarity text, and tooltip styling.
GUI Support Designed for custom GUIs, menus, NPC dialogue, and tooltips.
Socketing RPG-style sockets for gems, orbs, pills, and item upgrades.
Inventory Sorting Adds a small sorting button for supported inventories.
Skills & Cooldowns Supports custom skill systems, cooldown tracking, and styled messages.
HexHair Custom DBC hair color and style systems.
Masters System Friendship, mentor ranks, lessons, and master progression support.
