Display Entities Editor

Display Entities Editor

A Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.3 that adds in-world gizmo controls for editing display entities (block_display, item_display and text_display): move, rotate and scale them by dragging handles in the world.

Disclaimers

• This mod was inspired by the works of bikerboys, SlothyUWU, and Gm4, and their projects, respectively Pivot, Sloths Display Entity Editor, and Survival Displays.
• This mod was coded entirely by an AI agent. Just wanna be transparent about that

Config

Config file available at config/display_entities_editor.json with the following options:

{
  "wand_item": "minecraft:breeze_rod",
  "allow_non_operators": true,
  "line_width": 1.5
}

• wand_item: the client and the server each read their own copy, so keep them the same on a multiplayer server.
• allow_non_operators (default true): whether players without operator permission may edit displays. This is read by the server. Set it to false to require operator permission.
• line_width (default 1.5, range 0.5 - 10): base width of the lines the in-world editor draws (axes, rings, outlines). Read by the client; the thicker hover and drag highlights scale with it.

Building

./gradlew build            # jar in build/libs
./gradlew runClient        # dev client
./gradlew runClientGameTest

runClientGameTest launches a client and exercises the mod end to end (selection, dragging, rotating, scaling, the quick menu, frame conversion, head textures and the server-side checks). Screenshots are written to build/run/clientGameTest/screenshots.
