About this project
What does RLBubbles add?
RLBubbles is MIT licensed, so you're free to fork it, modify it, and port it to other Minecraft versions.
The mod is inspired by the old Dynamic Surroundings feature where villagers and other entities would occasionally display floating text above their heads.
Huge credit to OreCruncher and the original Dynamic Surroundings project for the inspiration.
Here are a few examples:




Now heres some modded examples!



All dialogue is data-driven and can be customized through datapacks, allowing modpacks and servers to add their own messages, jokes, lore, and mob-specific text bubble things
Anyway, I'm out :p
Happy modding!
