Available placeholders (Forge 1.8.9 only!)

Note: Placeholders are only available for forge 1.8.9 in the moment, im not sure if i will be bringing the feature to newever fabric versions.

There are only a couple of placeholders available, however, if you wish to add your own, the best way is to modify the source. Another way by contacting me on discord, or opening an issue, i will gladly implement your ideas!

  1. {coordX} - Displays your X coordinate
  2. {coordY} - Displays your Y coordinate
  3. {coordZ} - Displays your Z coordinate
  4. {health} - Displays your current health level
  5. {name} - Displays the player name
  6. {maxHealth} - Displays your maximum health
  7. {saturation} - Displays your current saturation
  8. {hunger} - Displays your current hunger level
  9. {heldItemName} - Displays the name of your current held item
  10. {score} - Displays your current score
  11. {hour} - Displays the current hour based on your local time
  12. {minute} - Displays the current minute based on your local time
  13. {second} - Displays the current second based on your local time

Example usage to configure textmod to display the current time:

/textmod text {hour}:{minute}:{second}

Which would look like HH:MM:SS.

The time placeholders are independent on each other.

Detailed text customization tutorial:

Setting the text:

/textmod text <Text>

How to set the position

/textmod pos <X> <Y>

How to customize the color:

Rainbow mode:

/textmod color rainbow

Custom color:

/textmod color custom <HEXCODE>

or

/textmod color custom

which will just use the color in the json config file.

Instead of HEXCODE type the hexcode of the color you want, to get the hexcode use a color picker such as this:
https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/
Copy the Hex code above the color picker, the hexcode starts with "#"

Example of setting it to pink:

/textmod set color custom #EE0DD3
