🏷️ Area Hints Mod
Add immersive area name popups to your Minecraft world!
When entering custom regions, elegant area titles appear at the top of your screen. Supports multi-level nesting, dimension default names, and easy creation tools—making exploration feel truly meaningful.
📖 Overview
Areas Hint allows players to define regions (called “domains”) using polygons and display custom names upon entry. All calculations are handled client-side with multithreaded optimization, placing almost zero load on the server. Say goodbye to complex commands and use intuitive tools to mark your world with ease.
✨ Features

- Automatic Area Titles: Enter places like “Elven Forest” or “Dark Castle” and see smooth title animations appear on screen.
- Multi-level Regions: Supports nested regions (e.g., “Kingdom” → “Throne Room”) with elegant transitions or combined displays.
- Dimension Default Names: Displays the dimension name (e.g., “Wilderness Continent”) when outside all regions.
- Easy Creation Tool: Use
/areahint easyadd for an interactive setup—just walk and click to create areas.
- Fully Customizable: Modify names, colors, heights, split or merge regions anytime.
- Beautiful & Smooth UI: RPG-style title display (inspired by Genshin Impact), with adjustable styles and smooth animations.
- No Claim Restrictions: Mark any place freely—explore without limits.
