Image Overlay
Renders up to 2 reference images on screen while playing. Inspired by Blender's reference image feature.
Quick answer
Which Image Overlay release matches 26.1.2 Fabric?
Image Overlay 1.1.0+26.1 targets 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. All 5 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Image Overlay required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Image Overlay 1.1.0+26.1 need?
1.1.0+26.1 on 26.1.2 Fabric. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Mod Menu, Fabric API, SettingsManagerLib, Text Placeholder API and 1 more first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 2 come through another mod in the chain.
2 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Image Overlay add?
Renders up to 2 reference images on screen while playing. Inspired by Blender's reference image feature.
Features:
- Upload up to 10 images using URLs
- Display up to 2 images on screen at a time
- Quickly switch between uploaded images
- Customize the position and size of each image
- Settings menu made with Mod Menu and Cloth Config
Notes:
- Files are uploaded through URLs (read below)
- Minecraft is very particular about file formats, so files must be native PNG files (not just renamed JPG or other)
How to Upload Files:
As mentioned previously, files are uploaded through URLs. The most efficient way I've found to do this is to go to imgur, upload your image(s), wait for it to say "Upload Complete", then right click the image and click "Copy Image Address" (do NOT click "Copy Link"), then paste that into the URL field in this mod's settings. Note: To open the config menu, you will need Mod Menu and Cloth Config API installed.
Summary:
- Upload to imgur
- Wait for "Upload Complete" banner
- Right click - "Copy Image Address"
- Paste into settings
