How do I install Floating Texts?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Floating Texts work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Floating Texts

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.19.4–1.21.6Newest
Minecraft 1.19.3
Minecraft 1.19–1.19.2

⬇ Download for 1.19.4–1.21.6 ⬇ Download for 1.19.3 ⬇ Download for 1.19–1.19.2

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.

This datapack allows you to create floating texts, using armor stands

You can then change the color and the decoration (bold, underlined, ...) of the text in 2 different ways :

With the book, that can be obtained in survival but requires the minimum OP level for commands
With the chat, which also requires the function commands permission
(Not implemented yet) With dyes (and other items that are easy to obtain in survival), which is fully survival and does not require any OP permission

These are the different modifications you can bring to your texts (you can change do this with the book or in the chat)

page_1 page_2 page_3

To obtain the book you can :

Sign a book & quill with FT

Use the chat options (enter /function floating_texts:chat/chat_options in the chat to access them)

options_chat

and here is what it can look like

You can edit some options too ! (enter /function floating_texts:settings/settings in the chat)
