DatapacksJava
Textreader
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.
Textreader
Textreader is a utility datapack for sending text sources like Signs, Books and Text Displays into chat.
How to Use
Textreader's menu can be accessed via the Quick Actions key (G by default) which will give you multiple choices to send text sources to chat.
Brief Usage
- Send contents of Signs and Text Displays by looking at them.
- Books can be sent by holding them in the main hand.
- Lecterns have to be stood on to have their contents sent.
- Players can choose to reveal the text source's position with
textreader.c_send_pos- Does not include the dimension and is not supported by books.
