Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Aquarius Libs needs to be installed for this mod to work! In vanilla Minecraft, renaming a chest at an anvil only displays its custom name inside the container's menu.

This mod brings those names to life by rendering them as visible name tags directly above your chests.

What it does:

Visual Name Tags: Displays custom chest names in the world.
Color Code Support: Use § formatting codes for unique, vibrant names (in the anvil when naming).
Sneak Transparency: Text becomes transparent when you sneak to keep your view clear.
Config Options: Tweak the config file to customize the background and outline colors(example: -16777216) (only one can be used), or change the display mode to see through(to see the names through blocks).

Supported Versions

Loaders: Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge.
Versions: 26.1.x
Note: No plans to support older versions below 26.1 for now
